Apalachee Bay – St. Marks Wildlife Refuge

During the COVID-19 lockdown, we have been fortunate enough to be able to get outdoors. The weather was cool and perfect during the early weeks of spring migration so hiking and birding was a real treat. On this day, we drove over to the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge near Tallahassee, Florida.

St. Marks is a 3 1/2 hour drive for us one way, but with no B&B, hotels or campgrounds open, we had to settle for a day trip. It was so worth the getting up super early and taking the road trip.

      It was great. Can’t wait for the fall to go back. It’s too hot & I’m sure more crowded now.

    What fun…a day trip is the perfect adaptation to COVID-19, as long as the destination is low density.

      Everywhere we’ve been has been low density. We are going to the beach tomorrow. Sanity preserved. 😊
