It is inspiring to hear about your travels. Maybe you can catch a Burmese Python. I tried when I was in Florida, using my mom as bait, but all we could find were alligators.

Hope to make NC by late this evening, I'm inside the Intra-Coastal Waterway now, mainly because of the weather, which is a big nasty. With luck, I'll make it home in another two weeks. I'll try to post some new photos and vids the next time I get Internet access.
