      Okeefenokee Swamp This is a big event! IF we can secure permits. Plan to depart Friday and camp somewhere close to swamp, Will try to borrow canoes to bring with us, paddle into swamp on Saturday morning. Sleep Saturday night on platform 1, paddle Sunday to platform 2, spend night, On Monday, paddle back to vehicle and drive home. Costs of platform and camping about $40. plus food Likely $20. This is a rare opportunity when everyone's spring break lined up to allow extra time off. Though more costly than most events this is a great opportunity to explore the largest swamp on the East Coast.
