Way down on Suwanee River


In this blog, I will be saying what experiences I will share with my friends and family at home, basically summarizing the trip. In this expedition, we went to the Suwanee River in Florida and Worley's cave in Tennessee.

In the Suwanee River, we went 76 miles in 6 days. That was the biggest and most exhausting trip I've ever been on. The whole trip was basically canoeing, having dinner and going to bed. We did some school while we were on the river camps. We typically did school before we went canoeing though. The last night, we went armadillo hunting with my field staff Judson. It was the funniest thing watching Judson running after them. Also, James had one come up to his feet and James kicked him in the face and the armadillo managed to bite his foot some. The armadillo just jumped back 3 feet and ran away.

After that we went to Worley’s cave and get a lot of exploring. We also slept overnight in the cave. The next morning in the cave, we did a typical SOAR tradition of having muffins in the cave. It was very delicious. In the cave, we hiked through a lot of boulders, under boulders, and in the creek that this in Worley’s cave. This was one of my favorite expeditions ever at SOAR.

This was my final trip of the semester and possibly ever at SOAR. This was one of the best expeditions I've ever had at SOAR. I can't wait to share these experiences with my friends and family and I also can't wait to see my family in 2 weeks.
