Being
one of the few spots of dry land along the river,
Mosquito Island has been a stopping place on most of our
boat trips. We have camped out there, stopped to build
a fire and cook lunch on cold days, or just stopped to
get out and stretch our legs a bit and take a bathroom
break.
Of course,
Mosquito Island isn't really an island - it's actually
the old levy that carried the Union
Cypress Railroad.
Over
the years we have seen quite a few changes in the water
level and the vegetation on the island.
