Wolf River Canoe Trip

On July 7, 2009 Larry Smith took me and some folks from the Shelby Farms Park Conservancy on a canoe tour of the Wolf River, Ghost River section. It was stunningly beautiful with all of the Tupelo Gum and Cypress trees. We saw plenty of snakes, both poisonous and not, but none of them bothered us, in fact, they most often jumped off their perches if we tried to get closer to them. I also learned that there are fish-eating spiders on logs and trees that have fallen into the river. Creepily fascinating. It's a nature wonderland really, so if you haven't canoed it before, you really should check it out! The light was constantly changing on our tour, but for every type of light, there was something uniquely wonderful to see.
