This afternoon we visited the Volo Bog. A very interesting place that we plan to spend more time investigating. The sidewalks are floating wood planks and the bog was created by glaciers that stopped in this spot 12,ooo years ago. The glaciers started to melt about 6,000 years ago and created a 50' deep pit that filled with glacier water. The silt and vegetation that have collected there are the uniques "bog" situation. This unique development has been designated as a Natural Historic Landmark and is now protected by the National Historic Sites Act of 1935.
