Tourist Guide

I am officially in love with my go pro. Yet another photo from Morris Island the other day. Such a lovely quiet spot. So many birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and other happy critters. The trail is really well marked and there are many different look outs.

Really great spot, can you believe it was winter?
Little kayak and portage last summer! Such an amazing and placid way place to end a long work day!
