Okefenokee Pastimes RV park.
This place is near Folkston GA. We are something like 160 miles from Habersham. An easy drive tomorrow. Right across the street from the entrance is a road that leads to The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. We unhooked and drove in there for look around. We hiked one particular trail that struck both of us as sorta funny. In 1891 a deep ditch (12 miles long) was dug in an attempt to "drain the swamp" into the Atlantic ocean. The goal was to make the Cypress and Longleaf pine forests more accessible so that they could be exploited. After 4 years the project was abandoned because the sand banks of the ditch kept collapsing into itself and they ran out of money. Also the CFO of the company had been receiving financial perks and not declaring them on his tax returns. Funny how history repeats itself. That's a mostly true story. Anyway, that will do it for our summer 2021 MP trip. I will put a lid on this trip with a final post after we get home and the dust settles a bit. One more thing. Jenny told me the pic on yesterday's post was confusing. The pics were taken at one of the anchor points of the cell tower, looking up at the cellular antennas.

Yesterday's pic I finally did figure it out as you had mentioned cell tower being close. Glad you have an easy drive this morning. Welcome back. Cooler weather less humid for this weekend.
