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.

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