It is very near an old friend who is getting up in years so I'd love to be able to work there. Also they needed a full-time gardener and I love doing that as well as the canoe tours. But they don't have housing and I can't afford the gas to live with my friend and drive back and forth. Then this fall, they asked me again to come to lead canoe tours but still didn't have housing. But when I finally get and RV....<br /><br />Glad you could see a red-cockaded woodpecker. And the ivory-billed could be living in the swamps along the Pearl River. You would love the Honey Island Tour of a beautiful swamp led by a guy with a PH.D in biology. That is very near Slidell, La.Marilyn Kircushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014565704792020948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-8757861321184358382012-01-27T19:48:04.631-06:002012-01-27T19:48:04.631-06:00One of our "jobs" at Carolina Sandhills ...One of our "jobs" at Carolina Sandhills NWR was to monitor specific pine trees at dusk... and report which bird went into the nests. I was supposed to see the colored bands on BOTH legs (which identified the bird). Needless to say, Bill was MUCH better at this than I was... but we were still able report back enough information that the "correct" birds were later trapped and transported to Great Dismal. We'll be looking forward to your post on your experience with the red-cockaded.

He talked about having to drive Route 90 as I10 was not complete in most areas. The drive would take up to 8 hours where now it takes a little about 4 1/2. Those back roads are great for seeing the real America when when going from point A to point B quickly you can't beat the Interstate system.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184706027679979998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-64577565912661273062012-01-27T09:52:49.851-06:002012-01-27T09:52:49.851-06:00What a great day you had! i love it when someone e...What a great day you had! i love it when someone else does the driving and I can just enjoy the ride.
