I was excited to find the plants. Funny thing though Dave, they weren’t in the logged area, but rather the rocky little road leading down to Lake. I Think originally that was for water access, water truck. We’ve camped on that narrow road right at the lake a few times before. Barely can get the van sideways to level. Never seen the plants there before .

They like a combination of open, wet, and acidic, conditions that are common to recently logged wet conifer forest.  I really like sundews.  Do pitcher plants occur that far north?  Sometimes the two are both in the same places, but pitchers seem to like it a bit wetter, don't tolerate periodic drying as well.
