The Dismal Swamp








Saturday morning the Tiger Cubs had a "Go See It" to the Dismal Swamp. We needed to fill 2 requirments - to go on a nature hike and to visit a historical place. We met his den at 8am and when on a hike through the swamp (on a boardwalk). We saw a lot of interesting things and signs of where bears had been. We are glad we didn't actually see any! We learned that George Washington used the swamp for logging. We walked along the Washington Ditch (there are about 12 ditches) where the slaves dug the canal to bring the logs out of the swamp. It was very interesting.
