Day 7 - Monroe, Louisiana - Black Bayou Lake NWR

Submitted by:  Karen and Speed Henning #8

Day seven in Monroe, Louisiana started off cold and windy!

Then we gathered together to caravan out to the Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge where we were shown a short movie on wildlife and nature.

 

 

The refuge had six maintained trails that we all enjoyed walking and observing the cypress swamp and the 1300 foot wildlife pier over the lake. 

The Conservation Learning Center had live animals, all which are native to Louisiana.

 

Some people gathered at the club house for some entertainment! 

Carolyn and Bob were counting their pennies and dimes.

Gayle teaching Chuck how to play rummy!!! 

Sharlet was busy making some delicious cookies!!
