Email and Photos from Skip and Jane
Our trip home to Gainesville was uneventful, and we arrived exactly at 6 pm. As it was April 1, and as we were passing through Perry en route, we briefly toyed with the idea of stopping at the motel and attempting to persuade the person at the desk to tell the group that they had no record of reservations for 16 people from LIBS. Fearing rampant cardiac consequences, however, we simply briefly toyed with the idea.
It was great to spend time with all of you. Have a great rest of your trip.

P.S. We're enjoying the blog.
P.P.S. Yep, definitely a rough green snake. No smooth green snakes in Florida.
P.P.P.S. Salamander may have been a four-toed. Still working on it. (Does anyone have a photo that shows the diagnostic four toes instead of five on the hind foot?)
P.P.P.P.S. Pink and yellow moth at Sumatra rest stop was rosy maple moth (Dryocampa rubicunda) NOT evening primrose moth. Oops!
P.P.P.P.P.S. Please share this message if you can.
P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Sorry about all the postscripts.

Corkscrew Swamp Photos
Red lady's-tresses is an orchid (I'll post the scientific name when I get to it).
And "air plants" also need a name---Eric--can you post a comment providing identification?? Thanks.
