2003 Bottle Creek Tours

On November 9 and 23, 2003, nearly 100 people joined USA archaeologists Dr. Greg Waselkov and Bonnie Gums on boat tours to Mound Island in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta to visit the Bottle Creek mounds.

People from all over Alabama, Western Florida, and Southern Mississippi came along, including several archaeology students from the University of West Florida in Pensacola, University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, and Murphy High School in Mobile. Many others were regular volunteer excavators with the Center, and members of the Alabama and Pensacola Archaeological Societies.

The weather was beautiful for both trips and everyone had a great time. All proceeds from the tours benefited Blakeley State Park, which has recently suffered drastic funding cuts.
