Our first loop
by thecanoeman
We started late for a travel day about 11:00 AM it was a gorgeous day, sunny about 80, but by the time we hit Niki Lake, it started to rain we decided to move on. However by the time we made it to Chippewa Lake, it was a downpour so we set up the tent, lit the lantern and started to dry out what we could, and by the way this campsite stinks. When the rain subsided at 6:00 PM we were antsy so we back tracked down the Papoose river, Lora had noticed some pitcher plants on our way in so we wanted to get a closer look and to our amazement there were hundreds of blooming pitcher plants and we took some pictures. then the rain started and the mosquitoes were out in force we hurried back to camp, the mosquitoes were so thick the forest was buzzing.
When we were back in the safe confines of our tent , Lora pulled out her flower book. While we were investigating the pitcher plant, we found out that some insects thrive in the plant. One of which was the ruthless, carnivorous, bloodthirsty BOG MOSQUITO. It not only thrives but also lays its eggs in the digestive juices of the plant. Upon reading this, we decided to make our escape in the morning.
