Sabine Wildlife Refuge and Holly Beach!

Wednesday, November 6, 2019 -- Today we headed toward Lake Charles, then west over the big bridge to the town of Sulphur, where we got our oil changed before heading south!

On our drive south, we passed by swamp lands...

and small lakes...

and canals next to the side of the road. It was a very pleasant drive, and reminded us very much of home!

We stopped at the Sabine Wildlife Refuge, which is one of several refuges in the southern Louisiana area.

We decided to walk to Wetland Walkway with General, even though we were very nervous about running into alligators. We were torn, half hoping to see an alligator so we could get a picture, and half hoping we didn't see one because it would have scared us to death!

When we turned the corner into Alligator Alley, we got even more nervous, because you can't see anything with all the reeds.

But we made it all the way around the trail, and didn't have any alligators jump out in front of us. LOL. Although we did see one on the other side of the canal when we were almost finished walking the trail. But it slipped into the water so quick that we weren't able to get its picture.

We continued south toward Holly Beach, with a canal running alongside the road almost the whole way. We did see another alligator, but again, it dipped under water before we could get a picture!

Holly Beach reminded us very much of our beloved Outer Banks and it made us so homesick!

General had a ton of fun playing in the water... and the sand!

Even the houses, built up on pilings, reminded us of home!

That evening, when we took General out for his last pee, we ran across this little critter. Not quite sure what it was, because the lighting was really bad, and it wouldn't let us get very close. But we are guessing it may have been an Armadillo! The first one we have seen!
