March 11 (Friday) Great Dismal Swamp – Chesapeake (C/4)                                             Art Ritter (o2behiking@yahoo.com). Why have a dismal Friday at work?  Play hooky on Friday, and join me on a hike in the Great Dismal Swamp.  We will meet at 7:00 am at the Panera Bread near White Oak Village at 4483 S Laburnum Ave. (take the Laburnum exit from I-64 east of town and head south). We leave for the trailhead at 7:15 am sharp.  The hike will be 9.0 very flat miles (out and back) to Lake Drummond, one of two natural lakes in Virginia.  The last time I hiked here, I saw five river otters, lots of waterfowl, black bear scat, and the many interesting sights typical of a large wooded swamp.  Bring binoculars. Hopefully, we will get to the lake in time for lunch.  Here is an account and photos of the last time that I hiked  there: http://o2bhiking.blogspot.com/2013/02/great-you-bet-dismal-no-way.html
