Somewhere on the blog is a roughly sketched map of the area I traversed once I was in town. Click it and move it around to get a good look.
I took my first picture, above, just west of draw bridge, which the bridge writes was built in 1921. I crossed Market to get to the Bald Cypress Park. Along the river is a dock all the way up to the swamp area shown. The river smells similar to the Savannah River - wood. They say, and it's true, that this river is tannic - fed by the swamps. I have read that this is most far north bald cypress swamp, but there is one up in Delaware. Once you cross into the swamp, there are raised wooden footbridges which seem to last for a mile until you get to the north end of the lake - I think it's called Stevenson's Lake. Part way there, there is a steel bridge that crosses a small part of the lake. It's to the right.

a little background on pokomoke

The Pocomoke originates in a cypress swamp on the Maryland-Delaware border and flows more than 50 miles through Wicomico, Somerset and Worcester counties and a small portion of Virginia before emptying into Pocomoke Sound at the Chesapeake Bay. Along the way, it turns from freshwater to brackish, a distinguishing feature between the upper and lower sections of the river, and a fact that has caused the lower Pocomoke trouble in the recent past.

In 1997, the toxic microorganism Pfiesteria killed fish and sickened people on the lower Pocomoke, prompting the state to close part of the river for nearly a week.

The upper Pocomoke, it seemed, was guilty by association. Even though the Pfiesteria outbreak was not a threat to the river's freshwater upper reaches -- the organism requires a saline environment in which to grow (see box) -- tourists stayed away and businesses suffered.

Fish kills this summer on the lower Pocomoke were not caused by Pfiesteria, officials have determined, but a lack of oxygen in the water attributed to the area's prolonged drought. The lower Pocomoke, however, continues to be closely monitored for Pfiesteria.

Barry Laws, owner of the Pocomoke River Canoe Co. in Snow Hill, says some tourists still call to inquire about Pfiesteria, but since last summer, "people from out of the area are starting to come back."

Even so, the upper Pocomoke feels like an undiscovered treasure. During our trip, there were a few other canoes on the water, and some fishermen angling for bass, but mostly we had the river to ourselves.

Even when you encounter other people, chances are you won't see them for long. With so many cuts and turns in the river, solitude is never far away. The Pocomoke meanders through one of the northernmost cypress swamps in America. Bald cypress, more commonly found in the South, grow along the river's edge and directly in the water. Their unusual roots protrude up and out of the water, forming crooks, or "knees." These strange, exotic knee formations are thought to deliver oxygen to the root system, and they are loads of fun to look at.

Your back-to-nature course continues around every bend, as you float past clusters of water lilies, small islands and stands of evergreen, sweet gum and cypress, or as your eyes follow a turkey vulture circling lazily overhead.

Still, it is difficult to escape civilization entirely. Our first day out, about a half-mile north of Snow Hill, an unmistakable -- and unwelcome -- smell wafted over the trees from Route 113: Did somebody say McDonald's?

Encroachment on the natural world may be relentless, but then again, let's not go overboard knocking civilization. When your day on the river is done, you want a hot shower and a cold drink. You want a soft pillow for a nap and, later, a great meal. And you want all that in pleasing and comfortable surroundings. And why not? After an adventurous day of intrepid exploration, you deserve it.

coyote mad

Why coyote decapitated ? Why given skinhead? Why inspected and have body desecrated by fools. Southern coyote need protection and respect and proper christian/indian burial in nice mound with his hunting implements and religious artifacts. A pox on that person who so harmed our people.Where Al & Jesse when needed?

This lighthouse is at the DE/MD line. I probably trespassed to get this shot - went up what was labeled a "private road", as all were that had trailers. The structure is surrounded by small trailers - actually, these are my ides of a fine getaway place at the beach. Lighthouse seems like Custer at Big Horn. Very unique setting for a lighthouse. Here's a link to the history of the place can't get this link embedded wuttuppe
The keeper's house is still there, but nothing I saw indicated you could walk the grounds. Rather than go in by car, next time I'll walk in there and see wuttuppe.

trip to pocomoke city, md

coyote took a day trip from ocean city,md down to pocomoke city md last week. he wanted to see the bald cypress swamp there. he had a full breakfast and drove bout an hour or so and arrived. at this point i gonna turn this narrative over to ghostwriter for mo comfutbil reedin. enjoi
The door here - if you click it, you can read the plate - was a godsend. In town, the only restaurant was Chinese, so it wouldn't open til about noon. I bumped into a couple - the lady had grown up here and come back after thirty years - and made inquiries about facilities, prayin the distance wouldn't be much. She said, "Right over there at City Hall (see above shot)and down in the park." That's why God had us together there - I know there is a Providence. Didn't have to get a key and it was clean and the water warm. Never pass up the opportunity to use one of these when you're around one. The fact it's there may indicate there's no homeless problem here. The one at the courthouse in Bel Air, MD was closed back in the 80's, during construction of its addition, because the winos collected there and messed it up for all. I do support the current administration in Pocomoke. Never pass up the use of such facilities when coming in from or going out on a trip of any duration, for you don't knoe when you will get the chance again.
