I didn t go too far for today s Dave Trip. In fact it s an old standby for me when it comes to getting away. Part of the Cypress Island Preserve, Lake Martin is a beautiful lake surrounded by cypress and hardwood forest. Behind the visitor s center, you can get out into the swamp via boardwalk. You ll get up close and personal with nature. During the fall a lot of the wildlife will be hard to spot, but the colors of fall are everywhere! But, if you look closely you will spot a number of species of birds. Alligators are plentiful here, but as the cooler weather settles in, they re much more difficult to spot. On this trip, I didn t see any.
