Monday, September 26th: Dupont State Forest

Today is Wednesday, Sept 28th.  We had no cell coverage yesterday or last night and just got it back in Georgia.  Temp 82 but humidity is only 44%.  Enjoy the post.

North Carolina's first recreational state forest, Dupont State Forest, is located between Hendersonville and Brevard, NC  and contains an extensive recreational trail system.

Triple Falls has three distinct cascades totaling about 120 feet in vertical drop.



Scenes from The Hunger Games and Last of the Mohicans were filmed in this beautiful forest.

High Falls is the tallest of the Little River Falls cascading down 120 feet of solid granite.


Variegated Fritillary Butterfly




Their host plants are Passionvines, faxes and violets



Mushrooms






Monarch Butterflies



Most adult butterflies drink nectar from flowers through their tongues, which function much like straws.  



A minority of butterflies almost never visits flowers, instead gaining sustenance from tree sap, rotting animal matter, and other organic material.
