The cave


I was really surprised how nice and how interesting the place called Burns Bog turned out to be. We stumbled across what appeared to be a cave of all things. The loop trail we went on was all boardwalked, so you weren't damaging the habitat by traversing over it. The walk went from wide boughed trees, to the low shrubby bush with pink flowers as in the previous phots, to the tallest thinnest forest of trees reaching up to the sky like church spires. We saw dragonflies and evidence of wood-peckers. The Bog is actually an ancient lake that has been choked by all the plant life. Since the water takes a long time to drain away, it really was quite boggy in parts, while others parts i was reasonably dry, but this probably has more to do with the fact that it is summer time than anything else.
