Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, Folkston, Georgia
Scrambled: KKOOEEEENF ANNOLIAT FELLIDWI FREGUE
Known to early Indian tribes as “The Land of the Trembling Earth,” the Okefenokee is a vast cypress swamp (actually a type of peat bog) on the Georgia-Florida line. Think alligators -- lots of alligators. My favorite adventure there: Watching a family of sandhill cranes step delicately through the wetlands. The baby was still young and clumsy on long unsteady legs, like a foal. He kept falling down in the muck. See samples of our work on the visitor center.
