Snapchat story on the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Florida, National Audubon Society.

If you missed my Snapchat story on the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Florida, you can watch it here.

Why is it called Corkscrew Swamp?

Back in the olden days when they used to come up out of the salt water into what is now know as the Imperial River to get fresh water for their boats — they didn’t have any wells in those days — they’d have to take a cask and come up into the headwaters of that creek to get the fresh rain water, and it was so twisty that they called it Corkscrew Creek, or Corkscrew River, at that time. Actually, the headwaters of that was what is now known as Corkscrew Swamp.

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is a National Audubon Society sanctuary located in southwest Florida, north of Naples, Florida and east of Bonita Springs, in the United States. The sanctuary was established to protect one of the largest remaining stands of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) and pond cypress (T. ascendens) in North America from extensive logging that was ongoing throughout the 1940s and 50s.

The Corkscrew Cypress Rookery Association was formed in 1954 to protect the area. The National Audubon Society accepted responsibility for management and started constructing the first boardwalk through the swamp in 1955. In all, nearly 45 square kilometres (17 sq mi) of wetland was purchased or donated (most from or by the owners, Lee Tidewater Cypress Center Co. and Collier Enterprises).

I had the opportunity to visit Japan and created some Snapchat stories along the way. If you missed them you can watch the highlights here.

We visited the Cherry Blossoms as they were just on the other side of peak and got some interesting photos. We visited The Skytree Tower, Central Tokyo for an interesting photo walk, a Samurai village, visited some friends including one of Japans most famous wood craftsman for carving wood hawks or eagles, I also visited a whisky distillery with friends about a 2 1/2 hour ride each way from where I was staying. Had a lot of great food and green tea every day.

Meet new friends everywhere and spent some time with my friend Candy Javier Sakai who I meet on Google+. She was nice enough to hangout with me and be my personal tour guide and friend. We had so much fun.

I hope you enjoy this adventure, and thank you for commenting, liking and plus 1ing my posts. It made sharing much more fun knowing you’re watching.

All the best.
