Topic: Florida Panhandle Trip

After trying for three years to make a trip to the florida panhandle it seemed like I would never make it. Until a few months ago I still wasn't sure if I would make it this year either. But things came together and on the 7th of april I found myself with my truck loaded with camping gear enroute to Florida.

Re: Florida Panhandle Trip

i never doubted you'd do well.   Thats an impressive list for your FIRST trip ever to the area...its a whole different world herping-wise down there aint it?   Cool habitat though...and yeah, one EDB makes the drive worth it.  Stand by for my SE excursion post as well...

Re: Florida Panhandle Trip

Its definately different. I didn't expect it to be exactly easy but, I expected it to be easier than it was thats for sure. Its suprising how much abandoned cover there is on the coast too. I wish I had went a few weeks earlier maybe the fliping would have been better. Sooo how bout some pics from you guys trip already.
