June 28, 2016 The Mobile Delta
The Mobile Delta is a place where the waters of 5 rivers come
together...
Mobile River
Spanish River
Tensaw River
Apalachee River
Blakeley River
(where we saw old bricks in the banks of the river from the old
ghost town of town Blakeley where its 4,000 people were wiped out down to 100
in waves of yellow fever epidemics that struck in 1822,1826 and 1828. It was
abandoned after the last battle of the Civil War was fought there between
16,000 Union soldiers and 4,000 Confederates April 2-9, 1865.)
The Delta river water comes together in Mobile Bay where the
water does a moon and sun driven tidal ebb and flow dance with the water
of the Gulf of Mexico.
Fed by Magnolia and Fish rivers nearby Weeks Bay also connects
with Mobile Bay. Mail is still delivered by boat to people's mailboxes on their
piers in Magnolia River.
Fish River is in my backyard, It is a tidal flow river affected
by the attraction/pull of the sun and the moon.
Who knows? Some of the water we traveled over today as we
explored the Delta rivers in Jimbo's boat
~may have been Fish River water I have swum and floated in with
my arms and legs flung out like a star
in my backyard!
I live in awe and wonder of all of the amazing ways we are
connected here on our Mother Earth.
I thank you for going with me in my heart's pockets
as I journeyed the ribbons of wild waters in the delta...
