Re: dark southern pine vs ???hybrid

Those records are all pure Southern (Florida) Pines. Intergrades become more obvious when the pattern becomes under-toned to an almost solid brown-black shade like record 275404 that I put in last night.

Re: Steps to minimize risk of Lyme Disease while out herping

There are other diseases spread by ticks for which the 24 hr rule does not hold. This includes R. parkerii , southern tick associated rash syndrome (STAR) and others. The advice given is all good, but is difficult to follow in Florida (esp tucking pants into socks etc). fortunately there are very fe...

Re: short Emerald Coast, FL trip

Thats right...there is no oil on our beaches and the local fish is safe to eat.
we need the tourists to come back to the Destin, emerald coast area.
BTW, nice eastern garter. I find more pines and EDBs than garters. they are not common here
for whatever reason.

I imagine there are a whole lot more cars now and if they drive as crazy as they did back then it must have been wild for you in the congested towns. The ...
