| Queen Butterfly |
This morning one of the other hikers in Corkscrew Swamp told us about how wonderful Janes Scenic Drive was and so our decision was made to make this our afternoon outing. It's an 11 mile drive through linear swamp forest. It is supposed to have great photographic spots/subjects with flowers, butterflies, birds and other wildlife. We hadn't read about the strand prior to our arrival so had no idea that the roads through the strand is poorly maintained after about the first mile. The first part is fields and some trees where we saw some butterflies. Then we went into the other area where the tress are closing in on the road and it becomes more deeply rutted. We got about 6 miles into the road before coming across another car traveling in the opposite direction. Upon talking with them we decided to turn back as the hour was getting late and sunset would be arriving within the hour. We did get to see some birds but none we hadn't already seen. Again, I was hoping to see Limpkin but none were found. Someday perhaps we'll be back earlier in the day to see the great sights we had been told were there.
