trip to pocomoke city, md - 2

<
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.
