Indian Creek RV Park & Corkscrew Sanctuary

 


We continue to be impressed with the wildlife at the RV Park where we are staying.  They even made it through Tropical Storm Eta that came through first. Then went out in the Gulf and came back as a hurricane and by God's providence were protected along with all the people here.

We drove in the dark to CorkscrewSwamp Sanctury and were walking on the Boardswalk by sunrise.

The Sanctuary has the twelve largest, oldest Bald Cypress Trees and fortunately preserved for over 100 years to protect them and the egrets, herons and woodstorks that nest here.
