Bull Island

A beautiful day, a great group of people, and the wonders of a South Carolina Barrier Island. We couldn't have asked for better weather, or a more exciting, fun filled day. If you haven't had the opportunity to visit Bull Island, it is well worth the trip. Many thanks to our friends at Coastal Expeditions for the great Ferry service to the island.

Yes, that is one impressive aligator!

Hmm, wonder what is hiding under the algae?

And the aligators are even more impressive when they are on the road in front of us.

Aligators everywhere!

Take a load off, but not in the sandspurs!
