Howie,.....yeah, there was probably a little less debris laying around there back then, and "stumpin'" would probably be more accurate than "flippin'",.....although I'm sure a combination of both techniques were used throughout your adventure.

What is REALLY mind-blowing to me, is the fact that I drove right past Jasper County the other day on the way back to my home in Florida from N.J, where my girlfriend and I went to her daughter's wedding. I explained to her that this was the very place where the name "Okeetee" originated. Man, if it wasn't winter time, I would have made her stop there to hunt for a while..LOL!
The whole time, I was picturing in my mind while I was looking out the car window, that somewhere out there were killer looking specimens tucked away for the winter just calling my name..LOL!

I sort of relate states and geography in general to what types of snakes are found in the area, and every state we went through, I would tell her about a few of the more coveted species of snakes that were from the area. Of course when we drove through Calvert County, Maryland I had to tell her about the nice "temporalis" that are native to that locale. And again as we saw signs for the "Outer Banks" of the Carolinas, I told her about the Outer Banks Kingsnake(sticticeps) that inhabited the coastal islands..LOL!, I told her about the "Edisto Island" Kingsnakes when we got down to Georgia too, etc...etc...LOL!
I ALWAYS have snakes on the brain, that's just the way it is!..LOL!,......I'm sure you can relate!
