While Dave and Ruth were down her, Dave and Aaron spent a day at the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge. The Okefenokee is a swamp in Georgia, just north of the Florida-Georgia State line. They rented a canoe and spent ~3 hours paddling around.
Aaron canoeing
A lily pad
Sometimes the canoeing path got very narrow
The peat collected so thick that trees would grow on it. If you were to get out and try and walk on it, the "ground" moves. That is why the indians named the area the okefenokee (which means trembling ground)

A 5-6 foot aligator that crossed their path
