Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Okefenokee

The great Okefenokee Swamp - 430,000 acres straddling Georgia and Florida.


Mrs. BD is talking me into doing a kayak trip through it. Being the home of Pogo, I should be more enthused but I watched this excellent video and think I got the gist of it without having to actually do it. Lots of reptiles.


Really, not enough interesting bird life there. Everglades, or the Georgia barrier islands are better for that.

The photography in Georgia Outdoors is typically this good. These people are artists of the first rank.

Might I suggest the Atchafalaya basin in Louisiana in the springtime, when the migratory fowl come in. Hire a guide! Stay in one of the many floating 'camp' houses scattered throughout the area. It's worth the trip.

Everything I know about the Okefenokee, I learned from Pogo.

Also, it's the birthplace of Kermit the Frog. Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
