Daphne Alabama




Another exploring day in southern Alabama. The first stop today was Weeks Bay Pitcher Plant Bog, the most extensive pitcher plants we have seen compared to Wisconsin. The native park desk person actually brought up Old Woman's Creek in Huron Ohio.


We had lunch sitting on a fishing pier overlooking Mobile bay then on to see an alligator boardwalk (still have not seen any).








Final stop of the day was a large oak tree which was a plantation property marker prior to 1800. Andrew Jackson stood in the tree during a speach to his troops during the 1812 Mobile campaign.
