Way Down Upon the Suwannee River



We drove through the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge, stopping along the way.  Bird watchers  paradise.  Thus in summer -the "no seeums" and mosquitoes are prevalent.  The swampy woods seemed like they would be infested with gaters .  We didn't see manatees either but we did see the Suwannee River.  On the back roads trailer houses AND JUNKY YARDS  far outnumbered the nicer mobile homes.   OSHA hadn't found this area yet.


Way Down Upon the Suwanee River  or "Old Folks at Home" was written by Steven Foster so Florida even has a state park for him, one of 172 state parks.
