The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.

September 1992. One of the highlights traveling north was the journey through the Dismal Swamp. History records this waterway as an avenue for freedom seekers over a hundred-and-fifty-years ago. The going wasn't easy either. It's a rugged and treacherous route where insects, snakes, and wild animals were abundant. It was to this inhospitable place many runaways came. Now days the waterway is still home to an abundance of wildlife, but the going is much easier. As the oldest, continually operating canal in the United States, the canal provided us a unique 22 mile water trail from South Mills, North Carolina to City of Chesapeake, Virginia. Photo ops everywhere and we seemed to have it all to ourselves.
