I'm currently re-reading An Echo in the Bone along with the Boozy Book Club here on IG. The Dismal Swamp and Dismal Town is referenced in the book when Wlilliam is traveling through on assignment. I live not far from the Dismal Swamp, and have distinct memories of riding in the car at night down Rt. 17 as a little girl towards New Bern, NC to see my Aunt and Uncle. This was before it was re-routed , and it was a creepy and dark two lane road surrounded by trees parallel to the Swamp. I hated that stretch of road, so the description of it in the book is just how I remember it. The old road is now a paved trail for biking and walking. It doesn't look as menacing in the daylight, but the thought of it still gives me the creeps. I put a link in my stories for those interested in the history of the Dismal Swamp. #Outlander #anechointhebone #dismaltown #dismalswamp #thegreatdismalswamp #georgewashington #undergroundrailroad #williamransom #dianagabledon https://www.instagram.com/p/ChqoaL1MHP7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 11 Dismal Swap road, Kalangadoo and onward! Last section of the day along the train tracks was hazardous because of the snakes.

I want to go to #dismalswamp. Who's with me? But then there's #cowheadlake. Decisions can be so excruciating. Google tells me this is in #Modocnationalforest not far from where I was born. Just a few years ago, I returned there for the first time since I was 2 months old. But I missed Dismal Swamp. I may have to go back. #dadsblackandwhitephotos #bnwphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/BtfFGXbF1T-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17zo4krq7ama6

Last time I was riding a motorcycle down 17, the signs for the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail caught my eye. I’d known the trail was there for a while, just never took the time to check it out. So Alyse and I threw the bikes on the back of the car and went to check it out. 8.5 miles in, and 8.5 out, so 17 miles total. I was stoked we did the whole thing, since I think that’s probably the longest distance Alyse has ever ridden. I brought the Fuji X100F along to make a few photos of our ride.
