It was dark when we returned to camp. A campfire had been ignited and preparations were being made for a fireside concert by Jeff. Win and I prepared hotdogs for supper and moved our chairs to the fireside. We finished our dogs and enjoyed the music.

Sitting in front of a campfire and listening to Jeff sing his thoughtful ballards and poignant word pictures is a special moment in time. I can imagine Francis Marion and his soldiers doing the same while secreting themselves from the British army.


After the concert, most of us set out for a late night cruise. Joy and Ethan went with me. We did not find any snakes, but Ethan caught a Barking Treefrog, a Green Treefrog, and a Southern Toad. I captured a picture of a Barred Owl.

Sometime after midnight, we stopped searching and called it a good day.
