Here is John Strawser enjoying the South!!! Have Fun John!!!

The Winter ramble is under way and finds me seaside midway between Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA, deep in the land of the Gullahs ( famous Gullahs, Jim Brown, Joe Frazier, and Clarence Thomas). The port of call is Edisto Beach and its cozy state park under the shade of live oaks dripping with Spanish Moss and groves of Palmettos, with the breaking waves of the Atlantic at the front door and a tidal marsh outback. The diet is naturally enough seafood, fresh shrimp and oysters predominate; but is nicely balanced with BBQ from Po Pigs' served up by Robert E. "Bobo" Lee himself. The birding is excellent, with another chance to finally add a Red-cockaded woodpecker to the life list. And for the sunny days there's cycling down the long, level back roads through the tunnels of over arching live oaks, or paddling the endless tidal creeks of the the vast ACE estuary. Do enjoy your Thanksgiving, and may your birds be full of fresh oysters. John Strawser
