  Paul, it is pretty. I keep expecting to see turkeys or deer.  It looks like lower N.C to me except for the plam trees and big fern trees. The hills are steep like around Tenn. above Chattanooga. Jesse, It kinda sound's like one of the real short Machete's, about 10" overall. Wayne, lately I just sit in the VW and read a book. We have a feeling of trust, fear or respect, take your pick. They know now I can hear the engine pitch change and I know what is going on. I've read five books since I've been here, got one left. I'll give it to Shannon or Chris Cade when I'm through. Whoever speaks up first. Has anybody ever heard of, " Jack Hinson's One Man War?" Jay Massey helped with the research.

you've got too much time own your hands down there.  i've got a ton of books i'll let you borrow for your next trip.  just have to check with steve and wade to see if they are finished with them.  i also have some killer audiobooks you can borrow.

 Hinson was a confederate sniper with over a hundred long range kills. It all takes place around Clarksville and Ft Donelson in Kentucky The real land between the lakes before the lakes. I know you and Shannon like those kind of books, so ya'll decide who get's it first. This guy was so pissed he had a custom, 50cal built before he started his killing spree.

That's real close to my neighborhood.   Sounds like a good read

  It all takes place around Stewart County and the city of Dover.

I'd like to read that book, my brother who doe's civil war re-enacting told me about it. I think what really set Hinson off was when union troops killed his two son's who were not in the military.

 That's it Greg. They not only killed them but then cut their heads off, dragged the bodies and dumped them in town and then stuck the heads on the front gate post of Mom and Dad's house. Before that he was neutral in the war.

 Hmm, I'll try again. I got into some Boo this morning. This stuff was HUGE, and about 80' tall. Also for anybody that hasn't seen a Purpleheart tree, here it is.

awesome pics man!

[mullet]

 Thanks, Josh. I sure wish I'd have brought my other camera with me. I've missed out on some good pictures of Toucans, green lizards, and other cool looking birds. I have to come back so I'll pack it with me then. And the guy's showed up this morning with a new shovel, and it had a Purpleheart handle, too.

 Greg, Shannon, and Chris, I'll bring the book to the Classic, ya'll can draw straws or Pappy can Raffle it off.

pick me up a few purpleheart seeds and some green coffee beans, if you can sneak them back through customs.  i just ordered the hinson book yesterday.  planning on reading it next month on my spring break cruise to jamaica.

 Chris, That tree is pretty dang tall to go climbing looking for seeds. I'm going to pass on any seeds dealing with Customs this time. They are probally going to impound and quarantine all my stuff as is.  And it's a good book. I guess it's between Greg and Shannon. At least they live close enough they can share.
