Thirty-four members and friends of Zion enjoyed a cruise up the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta aboard the Blakeley State Park's "Delta Explorer", a 50 passenger covered pontoon excursion boat. The weather was close to perfect and no one was bothered with pesky bugs!  The two-hour trip was well narrated with hands on samples of animal pelts and bones. The passengers were allowed to see up close the unique plant and animal wildlife as they gently glided among the creeks and bayous that make up the vast delta area.

         After the delta excursion, a picnic lunch was enjoyed at the Blakeley pavilion. Several people took the board walk along the edge of the water to explore the bayou wildlife.
