Big Cypress Swamp Walk and Camping Trip

Last week, I went camping to Big Cypress National Park in Florida. My campsite had a bunch of burnt wood and a burnt door from a burnt house. I also went on a swamp walk. There were these nuts that you crack and oil gushes out. There were also these plants called lemon cypress. You crush them and hey smell like lemons.

At night I saw hundreds of stars and constellations and even planets. I went to a star gazing event and saw Jupiter through a telescope. We went back, told scary stories and roasted marshmallows. I slept in the car so I got a great view of the stars and constellations when I look out the window. Here is a picture of my brother and me during our swamp walk at Big Cypress National Park.
