Sea Pines Forest Preserve

I went in the Spring hoping to see the "must see" wildflower field. You have to pay to get on the island via a bridge, then you have to pay to drive around the island, then you have to pay another toll to leave the island. All that seemed a bit much to me. I asked the young kid working the pay booth if you could see the wildflower field from the road, and he didn't seem to know much about it. I also asked him if there was much wildlife on the island, and he gave a sarcastic response about not controlling the wildlife. The island was very congested with people and traffic, even with the bad weather. It rained the day we were there (only day of our trip.) I understand the weather can't be controlled, but you can see nothing from the parking lot besides a few squirrels rummaging through the trash. Their brochure did not have a good map of the island if you are not familiar with it. My fibromyalgia and arthritis were flared cause of the rain, so I decided to not walk the trail here. I was disappointed, and Hilton Head was one of the least favorite parts of our trip.
