- eh-yup. Drink enough o' dat moonshine down there and everything starts talkin' to ya.

A guy I went through basic with in the army was a "logger" from Georgia. At least that is what he did when he wasn't poaching to eat. Anyway, his uncle was a moonshiner. Says he knew when his uncle got raided and had to set up a new still. He used radiators from the junk yard, and the first few batches were polluted with ethylene glycol (antifreeze). And whenever there was a bunch of poor unfortunates that turned up with some strange things wrong with them, like all of a sudden going blind, it was from the folks that got the polluted batches of hooch till the radiator got good and clean. Then his uncle sold to his regular customers. Makes you almost want to side with the revenuers.

And..  that's the SECOND time that happened.  There's another snakebite story in the earlier logs. Wouldn't you think people would learn from others' mistakes? Amazing.  I think I read  somewhere in the forums that either The Bitten Guy or the guy he was with heard  the snake mumbling under his fangs as he slithered away something like ..  "Gotcha ye olde geocacher you."   The guy who got the bite thought it was the start of a hallucination yet was even more freaked out when the other cacher also claimed to have heard it. The thing is, Georgia is notorious for talking snakes. Only, no one tells you that unless you have either lived there for a while or can trace your ancestry to Powhatan Indians.  (Although that Powhaton part may or may not be true, it's just that  "Powhaton" is one of those words that are just darn fun to say). Or was that Texas --  known for the talking snakes?  Some southern state for sure.   I think I remember seeing or hearing it mentioned on the Hallmark Channel special that featured geocaching.

I think I might do well on that cache.
