Wrights Lake Campground - Apalachicola National Forest - Solar Panels, Cypres Trees, Carnivorous Plants

Our trip to Wright's Lake Campground in Apalachicola National Forest was uneventful.  We arrived at about 1 PM and had the camper parked and set up in about 30 minutes.  So far we really like the campground - we are right on the lake and there are several hiking trails that start right near our site - not bad for $5./Day with our National Parks Senior Pass.   The solar panels  are doing their job - we have been here more than a day and the batterys are fully charged after several hours of TV and lights last night.  

Here are a few photos of the campground.  

We took a 3 mile hike Wednesday AM and in the afternoon did a 4-1/2 mile hike.  We had 3 deer cross in front of us but didn't get a picture of them.

This next picture is of Donna & Darby navigating a 100 ft log bridge over a swampy area - Darby wasn't too sure of this but he made it without jumping off the log.    

Carnivorous plant  - no internet when I wrote this so couldn't look up a description of it but they collect water in their trunk which collects insects which they digest.
