An Elevated View Of The Swamp

Camping Platform In The Okefenokee Swamp

Back country camping in the Okefenokee swamp often require sleeping on a wooden platform. There is a major advantage in this. I could be better then simply being in a clearing in the woods with limited visibility.

One way to get a tactical advantage is achieve an elevated position. The platforms allow you to see to the horizon in all directions. At night, with a good spot light and a thermal, you could see something from a long distance. These areas have a long history of strange activity.

Strange lights have been seen in the distance by campers who are the only ones out there. They say the lights are caused by swamp gas. One theory is that there may be feral people that reside in this areas. There is also a theory that there is a UFO base in this swamp or a possible USO base.
