Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve

The original plan was to go to Furnhill, but the morning news reported that overnight two motorists got stranded in the flood waters and had to be rescued.  We found out the whole area flooded over and the roads had been closed since Friday.  Luckily, Jackson Bottom wasn't too flooded.
