A few weeks ago\u00a0Mike Wang and I visited various Darlingtonia sites in Curry Co., OR and Del Norte Co., CA. As always – I am truly thankful that I got a chance to roll with Mike again. It was truly an unforgettable experience. It was pretty much a year since we last visited Darlingtonia country. (Here’s a post to day one<\/a> and day two<\/a> from last year!)<\/p>\n

We had to do some hiking to get to some of these sites. The trails (and LACK of trails) were quite steep and rugged in some places. Finding the Darlingtonia in these remote regions was definitely<\/em> not easy, but the grueling\u00a0trek felt like a very small price to pay to be able to witness\u00a0the\u00a0plants growing in their natural habitat. Oh and the scenery? <Insert expletives here.> OMG. Ridiculously good. Melt-your-face-off mind-blowingly beautiful.<\/p>\n

I can’t adequately put into words just how outlandishly magnificent this experience was so I’ll stop trying and let you see for yourself. I\u00a0strung together\u00a0a few video clips and created some\u00a0photo slideshows that are sorted by day below. There’s also a few highlight snapshots underneath all that.\u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, and if you haven’t already done so – please be sure to check out Mike’s posts of our Darlingtonia 2014 excursion \u00a0here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>\u00a0and here<\/a>!<\/p>\n
