Canoeing In Flooded Forest

  • 6 years ago
Video only, no sound. This is lake Greeson, still at max capacity, 2 weeks after tremendous rainfall. An area that is normally a forest of oak, pine, and cedar is flooded and makes for an interesting canoe adventure. It's very swamp-like, except those aren't swamp trees, they are oaks! It's still too cold for snakes to be out, but something even more dangerous lurks in this flooded forest. Any guess? Falling trees! It's only a possibility, but some are likely to come down eventually, or during a windy day. The water is still murky but some settling has occurred. I've no idea how long this will last, but I fear for some of my favorite oak trees.
