swamp that is home to many globally rare plants

  1. So freaking cool! :D This is the kind of thing I miss living down here. Charles used to do a lot of extreme outdoor sports (rock climbing, rappelling, he's even gone skydiving) and he was drooling over that bridge when I showed him the photo! Looks like you had a blast!
