Big Thicket Nature Preserve

We had to drive about 20 miles to get to the Visitor Center. The preserve is spread out all over the place. There are different Units of varying sizes. We did 2 hikes in 2 different Units. The flood that rolled over this state park also flowed through parts of the Preserve. There was alot of evidence of a Biblical flood. The pic of the bridge is an example of some of the damage. The Pitcher Plant is carnivorous. Insects are attracted to the flower by a sweet smell, they slide down into the well of the flower, are held there by downward pointing needles and are subsequently digested. Pretty diabolical. There was a field that had hundreds of those plants. We move tomorrow to SA.
