This past week I make a trip to the pines to check out a savanna I've had visited before. I followed a road that leads you into the savanna that stays flooded year round. Knowing that, and not having a pair of hip boots, I put on my waders that I use for surf fishing along IBSP. I followed the road for about a half mile, slushing through water well above my knees in places. The road was flooded about 70% of the time as it meandered between a tree line and the savanna. The waders kept me dry and chigger free. It was quiet and peaceful back there as you feel the light breeze blow across the high grass.
