[edit] private entrance

The article mentions a private entrance in Waycross. While it is owned by the Okefenokee Association, I'm not sure if private is the best word to use. To me, private sounds like it's on someones personal property or something like Six Flags - ie overly commercial. The association was founded by the county chamber of commerce and tourist board. Comments? Ideas for improvement?

[edit] Map request

A map showing the extent of the swamp and the relationship to the wildlife refuge would be useful. -- Beland 17:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Is there any way to upload a picture on here that's more representative of the swamp?

[edit] My reversion of the edits of March 18

I reverted the changes an anon and Showdown345 made on March 18th (diff of their changes). Those edits removed a great deal of valuable information with no justification, and the added text reads like an essay someone wrote for school (and is also blatantly POV, e.g.: "...the swamp had most of the cypress trees cut down and was now scarred for life. These acts of injustice to the environment..."). --Miskwito 00:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
