It was short

It was sweet

but we got to see 4 flowering polys',lendros' in the wild.

I've had the priviledge to meet some beautiful people while searching for these ET's--extra terrestrials of course "GHOST ORCHIDS"

Let me not drown our Orchid Board audience and just post the pics OH again no SNAKES although I do like finding them,,,,enjoy...mike??????????

I'll have to get out there with you cats one of these times. I'd love to get some photos. I've never spotted one in the wild

Nah I have no desire to take them. I have five babies at the house

I would just love to get some photos of the mature ones.

Well I'm heading tomorrow alone on this trip,I'm heading to a new place dont know if I'll be able to get thru, but If not I'll carry a chain saw, the next time I go in.... could you imagine the park rangers hearing that thing I'll probably be placed in jail and then I wont be able to go any more to this place I call my home....but its so addicting to go in deep the deeper the better because you feel like you know that nobodys ever been that far except maybe some old indians or well ,,,,,lets see .....
