8/16 Ride report

[withm]

I think I've paddled a canoe up that way. Not to be outdone, my friend Annette and I did a short ride around Trap Pond State Park Saturday, and Paddled it on Sunday. Trap Pond is the home of the northernmost bald cypress trees in North America. It was a pretty cool place.

These are cell phone pix... so I apologize for the quality, but the cypress trees are really awesome.

If there is interest from the Mid-Atlantic crowd to do a camp-out with biking and kayaking either there or even at Assateague this fall these are great places to base bike and/or kayak outings.

Trap Pond is near Laurel, DE and might be a good place for the SeaGull riders to consider camping if motels are booked up, or want to keep the costs down - about 16 miles from Salisbury. Campsites are $24/night for DE residents or $28 for non residents. Seniors get a small discount.

Here's a couple photos of the cypress swamp...
