Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience. I will definitely go myself in the fall. Your information about the enslaved people living there has opened doors to more exploration of this sacred space so nearby.
Yes, the contradictions have contradictions. Freedom came at a great price but the cost of remaining enslaved was unimaginable. So people trusted that the swamp, the forest, and the lake would provide and they did. Amazing stories!
What an awesome trip an awe-inspiring place
Thank you. It is indeed a sacred place on so many levels.
Love a good swamp! Thanks for the tour, Annette!
LOL! They are the best!
What a great testimony to human ingenuity and resilience in the face of inhumane oppression. Clearly not dismal at all.
Yes, definitely a misnomer, except for the mosquitoes and biting yellow flies, that is!

Definitely worth a visit. I will be going back! It’s not that far away.
Thank you. I so appreciate learning about how people survived the unservivable in places that were both deeply challenging and mysteriously beautiful.
