I did a boat ride trip up Boggy Creek Saturday with Betty Smith, her daughter Ivey, and her Sister. We launched from Edwards Boat ramp and cruised up the creek, taking it easy, looking out for logs. We found that the old "Hump Back Bridge" had been rebuilt with concrete, to our disappointment - the old bridge was always a neat sight. But we had beautiful weather, a slight breeze and as we began to get back into the swamp we found wild roses blooming along with "swamp orchids", water lilies and other beautiful flowering plants. As we round one bend we trolled under a large birds nest and were greeted by a mother Osprey, chirping her warnings.
Although we did not see any alligators or Skunkapes, we did see a swimming snake and basking turtles. We tied off and had a great picnic of "Dagwood" sandwiches, chips and dill pickle spears. The bugs weren't too bad and a good time was had by all, another great day to be out on the water.
