The Great Dismal Swamp

This weeks trip was to The Great Dismal Swamp. Not much to say about the hike outside of the fact that it's a straight 4.5 mile hike on the Washington ditch trail with little shade and lots of bugs. Bugs that on the way down off work but on the way back your body odor is strong enough to cause them to chance it and attack in waves. Best time is when it not summer so the sun and bugs don't eat you alive.

The lake is a beautiful place to eat lunch but to me it did not balance the walk but other things did. My daughter said she liked the hike at northwest better but the view and eating on the lake she liked. Two travelers two opinions But hey it's not a adventure if you always follow what folk say just be fore warned.
