Having retrieved our RV in North Carolina, we headed south toward Florida; with our goal of staying in warm temps for the next couple of months.
First stop; Stephen C. Foster State Park in the southeast corner of Georgia. This park is in the middle of the Okeefenokee Swamp with the Suwanee River flowing through it. A nice campground in the middle of a very quiet part of the USA. Had electric, water, and even 11 channel cable hookups!
Biked two days on the road along the tall pines and into the swamp area.
Then canoed from the park office through a canal onto the Suwanee River. We figured all of the Alligators would be sleeping; after all it is Winter -- but nope..... And even when we respected the sign of not waking them up?!
Saw 31 Gators, all bright eyed and looking hungry. One must have been over 400 lbs and looked like he could easily rip a hole in our aluminum canoe. Paddled faster from that spot. Did enjoy the river, the cypress trees, and the beautiful river views.
