The NO Venus Fly Trap Trail!

Day 4
12:34pm

After breaking down the campsite we drove to what the park had named Flytrap Trail. Here we were to find not only the Venus Flytraps, which was our entire reason for visiting the park, but several other endangered and bizarre carnivorous plants. It was early but the sun was already hot, a far cry from the overcast thunder showers predicted yesterday. Good thing, because we going trail walking rain or shine, shine was just bound to be more fun. We walked the whole trail and saw a lot of great flora and some fauna, but you know what??? NOT A SINGLE GODDAMM FLYTRAP!!! We even went searching off the trail like bad lil’ kids to the swampier areas to find some, but we still came up with nothing. The only one we did see was the Yellow Pitcher Plant. It was cool to find, and made for some nice photos, but I wanted Flytraps dammit. I mean if you go to Flytrap Trail there should be at least a few Flytraps, right? Am I asking too much?? I mean they could transplant some along the path to satisfy the tourists’. No one would be the wiser! ALAS!!!!

We did see some other cool plants and the nature trail was very pretty.......
