Beach Walk Through Wildlife Refuge – WKRG News 5

Thursday, May 23rd, 2013

I have my backpack full of bottled water so none of us get dehydrated and not just a backpack but also a pedometer on my phone so we can find out how far we’re walking as we walk along the beach here. There’s not much to see near the Fort Morgan road condos and resorts.
