St. Vincent Island

JWent on a guided tour of St. Vincent Island National Wildlife Refuge.  It's a huge island 9 miles long and 4 miles wide, over 12,000 acres.  It contains several fresh water lakes.  There are no human inhabitants, it's about 4 miles east of where we are staying.

Lots of wildlife including wild boars, red wolves (an endangered species), several species of deer, alligators aplenty, and lots of birds.  Didn't take a lot of photos as much of it is just woods, but here's a few shots from the adventure.

The harbor master at Indian Pass.  St. Vincent Island is in the background.

There were about 20 in our group, the boat could take 6 at a time over to the island.


The dock on the island, another load of people coming in.

The tram...very much a Jurasic Park feel at the start,

A stop at Tahiti Beach on the far east end of the island.
