Mike: I actually live in Charleston, South Carolina right now. It's lovely - it has beaches, the intercoastal waterways, and grand old buildings to photograph. I'm glad you got away from the rattlesnake at Big Bend - did you manage to snap a picture? I personally dropped a camera downon of the mountains/large hills. Somehow, it survived, and still takes decent photos for a point-and-shoot. I'd love to take our conversation off-list so as to not clutter up everyone's inbox worse than they already are.
