Honey Island Swamp

After a short ride from Ocean Spring, MS where we crashed for the night we embarked on a 2 hr tour of Honey Island Swamp. We took this tour 19 years ago with the Bobbitt's and Chance when he was a newborn. Yes, we were stupid not because it was extremely unsafe to take a new born in a cold wet boat but because we went in January and everyone knows there are no amphibians out when it is cold.  This time the swamp was 5' over normal height due to spring flooding from snow melting up North.  We saw a few snakes, birds and a single 5' gator.

I suggest going in May when it is not quite in the middle of summer but warmer than March and April.
