I caught one in WV maybe twenty years ago.It was covered with mud.I had to wash it in the crik to figure out what kind it was.I missed it the first try.It was lying along a log in the hiking trail.Well hours later on the way back as I approached the log from the back side this time I snuk up on...

Almost like it was designed that way:-)

I saw the one seven years ago in Tennessee.It was worth the trip even though I got caught in a dead stop traffic jam for three hours once back out on the highway.If you've never seen a total solar eclipse it is definitely worth the drive.Not seeing this one because funds are tight from medical...

There is a burnt out wreck next to the main drag in from Schooner landing.Discovered it on a PBX hike I led through there many years ago now.I"ll see if I can pin it.It's just out of site of the main drag. Right about here...

Black Rat snake possibly getting ready to shed.has to be the most common snake around,the woods are full of em.Great climbers and eaters.My Great Grand dad would trow em in the corn crib to keep the rats out of the corn.Make good pets too,very seldom bite unlike a racer,quite strong.van tell...

Bridge was solid as a rock wasn't it? Was last time I crossed it and that wasn't long ago

the third pic is the beach is on the left where i learned to swim.beach is gone and water much shallower now

A small hint,there are points in that crik.I won't say where but their there.

Thats the old diving board foundation.Dive there now you'll break your neck but it was deep back then.ziI don't know if they had dug it out or natural events made the hole and then filled it in. Did the bridge hold up for you?
