Kakum National Park

We actually found this park with word of mouth driving directions of "go down that way".  It is a protected rain forest.  We crossed 7 of these 350 meter long bridges connected to huge trees, high above the forest floor.  

Lynn "look ma, no hands!"  (You'll notice who was not only ahead of him, but who also had the camera  :)

The heat made us melt - it reminded me of the Mayan ruins we visited in Belize!

 This is the base of one of the smaller trees.  We've see trees as big as the semi trucks hauling them, rolling down the road.   

This is an elephant skull on display in the visitor center museum.  (Micah always wants to know what animals we see).  There are elephants in the area, but the forest is so dense, and they are so shy that they are rarely seen.  We heard a lot of animals screaming their echos through the jungle, but couldn't see them.  I was just glad we didn't encounter any snakes!

These lizards are everywhere and Lynn loves them.  I'm sure he'd sneak a few home for the grandsons if he could.  I admit they are pretty cool.  They pump up and down on their front legs and look like they are doing push ups.  They get about 18 inches long!

It wasn't raining, but Lynn's shirt is completely soaked.  The signs crack me up!   

The ant hill in the background kept us from proceeding to the picnic area.  You see these anthills everywhere and they are huge!  We ate our peanut butter hoggies on a rock near the parking lot instead.

Speaking of signs, you see these everywhere - because...well...it is a PROBLEM!  Note to self:  Just look the other way, and never take your shoes off at the beach.

The whole voiding process reminds me of this sign taken at a different location.  Seriously, the directions are needed!  I used to put tissue on the seat - but it stays on your cheeks when you stand up and the single ply doesn't come off easily.  I've resorted to the good ole stand by...the stance!
