Whew....i go off on a weekend kayaking trip and have 10 pages to catch up on!
Spent Saturday and Sunday kayaking rivers and creeks in Delaware, on the Maryland/Delaware border. Camped overnight at Trapp Pond State Park - where one finds 100s of Bald Cypress trees growing in the water, marshy, swamp areas.
It was nice camping - no rain, almost full moon, and stars too.
- Trap Pond State Park is a 3653[1] acre (8.5 km²) Delaware state park located near Laurel, Delaware, USA. It is one of the largest surviving fragments of what was once an extensive wetland in what is now southwestern Sussex County. The state park features an extensive patch of bald cypress trees.
- The bald cypress is a wetland tree adapted to areas of calm, shallow standing water. Trap Pond State Park is the northernmost park in North America that includes cypress and bald cypress, although the actual range continues further north, ending just north of Georgetown, Delaware, in the Ellendale State Forest.
Happy Monday all.
Here’s one quick collage of the weekend of paddling.
