I wish I could have stayed in the dorm. Then I could have been on the
hike today. Oh, well. The hike on Saturday was amazing. I've never
seen a forest like the one in Congaree NP. Everywhere we looked we
found giant trees. I took about 300 photographs which I'll be mucking
about with for days.

If you any of you want to read my unfolding impressions of Congaree,
you can take a look at my blog, which will be taken up with the
Saturday hike for the next few days:
