We returned to Brooker Creek over Labor Day weekend. The park was open this time, but we didn’t last long. The mosquitoes were still hovering even after applying anti-bug juice, and after the boardwalk ended, we didn’t make it far before we reached impassible water submerging the path.

On our way out, a baby gopher tortoise was very slowly crossing the road. We stopped and stood over it, waiting for it to come out of hiding and continue on its way, as it would have easily been run over. Another park visitor stopped and took pictures with us.
