After a successful morning at an outdoor (!) laundromat, we ventured on a wildlife drive that is only open on Fridays – Sundays. The speed limit is 10 MPH and the approximately 11-mile drive is one-way. With well-placed markers indicating audio tour stops, we learned loads about the restoration efforts to return these former farmlands to functioning wetlands.
