J&L Adventure 3: Jackson-Frazier Wetland

Lindsey and I went for our third adventure! This time we...

Biked to the Jackson-Frazier Wetland toward the north end of town!

One of the cool parts about the wetland is that the path is entirely a raised (and wheelchair-accessible!) boardwalk. We visited in the summertime, so it didn't make much of a difference - but in the spring, visitors are glad it's raised because, as the name suggests, it gets wet.

We saw a lot of really cool-looking plants.
A lot of it was the kind of stuff you'd expect to see in a sci-fi movie set on another planet.

It was a beautiful day, too, for such a walk! 

Coooooool. 

The boardwalk forms a circular path through the wetland. As we came toward the end of the circle, we saw a bunch of standing water. Lindsey said that in the spring, this is what a lot of the wetland looks like.

 Obligatory reflection shot!

While this experience was really cool, we decided that we should come back again in the fall, winter, and spring so that we can experience this habitat in all seasons. So, be on the lookout for updates in the coming months!
