#112

Went on an unexpected trip to Botany Bay Plantation this day.  It was a cold and very blustery day; 40 degrees and freezing rain.  It did not seem to take away from how magical this place is!  
We got lucky.  Access is closed off during most of October through December for hunting.  We chanced it, and when we saw the gate open, I was thrilled!  You'll see why in upcoming photos.  Its beaches are wild and absolutely beautiful.

Its history began in 1798, or somewhere around there.  It's said to be one the last plantations (if not the last) actually on the ocean.

This is just one of many roads running through the 3,360 acre property.

In this scene, there are wetlands on either side of the road, leading into a forested area where the wet and cold mood of the day left me waiting for Swam Thing to emerge from the swamp.
