We walked in Frank's Audubon Forest today

We stopped just about an hour outside Charleston, South Carolina, and visited the Francis Beidler Forest. Bert's college roomie and long time friend is the grandson of Francis Beidler II who donated the forest/swamp to the Audubon. It is 17,000 acres of virgin Cypress trees and Tupelo Gum trees. There was a 1000 years old Cypress tree. It is a swamp- a forest in water. It was pretty dry today as there has been a drought. While the temps have been in the high 90's for the past few days, it was only 82 in the forest. A really beautiful place. Thank you Frank.
That's our "covered wagon" at the entrance.
