We saw some folks head out for a tour of the swamp with a ranger in the tour boat and thought - yikes! it is really cold… Our blood is so thinned out after warm temps in Florida, when it dips down below 65 degrees, we freeze! Maybe we'll get over being such wimps and just bundle up a little more. We really enjoyed Chesser Homestead.Roadrunner Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720107862190088369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-48414031893628737862013-03-27T01:08:32.688-05:002013-03-27T01:08:32.688-05:00My favorite photo was that of the cypress tree rig...My favorite photo was that of the cypress tree right in the middle of the swamp... there's something about the reflection on the water that makes it just right!
