Yep, I'm here in Stephen Foster country and I couldn't be happier. The campground is small but big on friendliness. There are 3 other workampers and they are great to work with. And did I mention the hours? I worked more hours in 2 days at Amazon than I do all week here. And Gus is loving it too. Lots of time for me to walk him and I can walk home to him in 5 minutes or less.
And then there's the swamp. Yep, just across the highway is the Okefenokee National Refuge. This morning I took a boat tour of the swamp with the rest of the workers here. AWESOME!! Good thing I decided to start a birding journal. Ibis, Great Blue Heron, Sandhill Cranes, and even a great barred owl. Oh, and then there were a few gators here and there. Actually, it was a bit cool this morning so we didn't really see any gators until later and then only laying in the warm mud. Overall a great introduction to the swamp. We'll be going back to kayak the swamp sometime after the new year. Can't wait.
Oh yeah, I think it's going to be a great winter down here on the Suwanee. Come on down!!!
