Okefenokee Swamp Fire

Florida has several large wildfires occurring around the state, but none have affected us yet. You’ve probably heard about a big fire in southern Georgia. It’s been going for a month and is spreading requiring evacuations in a town nearby. This morning we woke up to smoke in the woods surrounding us and a smell of smoke. There is no danger. The fire is actually ~100 miles from us. But I was shocked that the smoke is affecting such a large area.


At the same time, our camp host accidentally ran over a water connection at one of the camp sites. It meant they had to turn off the water to two loops of campsites to make repairs. Not a big deal since we have a water tank, but just one of those things that happens every once in a while.


Just for the fun of it, a big dead tree seen on a walk!
