Mingo National Wildlife Refuge

Who knew that Missouri has a natural swamp area?  I didn't.  It is really cool.  The wildlife (lots of snakes this year) and the environment specific trees were really amazing.  Here are some pics.  Not much to say about this day.  We were all enthralled with the environment here.

Here we watched a water snake.  It was the first of MANY.  Big year for snakes.  Yuck.

 Banded water snake.

Do you see the face in the limestone bluff?

See this tree below?  It is a Balled Cyprus.  So cool!

 Yep, that's little E.  He cracks me up.

Off to Cancun tomorrow.  When we return, pictures of Big Spring and Rocky Falls down in the country.
Maybe some pictures from Mexico.
Happy 4th of July!
