It's a pretty sweet place. :thumbup: My cousins and I are planning on going back and going all the way through this Summer.
Sounds like a plan! Be safe in your discoveries though.

WW, I've never seen a snake hit artificial bait, but I'll never forget when I was a teenager, a older cousin of mine used to come pick me up and we'd go fishing. One time in particular this time of year, we casted out in one of our favorite bluegill/crappie ponds. We must of stirred up a nest is there is such a thing of water moccasins. There was so many they would attack the small fish we had on our line reeling them in. They where pretty pissed off too, we decided to leave when they came up on the bank. They got close enough we was swatting at them with out rods. There had to be dozens of them. Never seen anything like it.
We will, or at least we'll try to. There are lots of great camping spots near the cave too so we might just go for a couple days and camp, fish, and explore the cave. Apparently it has a wet exit and a dry exit depending on which of the main paths you take.
Speaking of which.. We were lacking in the flashlight department yesterday. Just the tiny little keychain light in my MotoEx survival kit was it.. I've since put my headlamp in the Jeep, but I'm looking for a cheap (15-20 dollars, preferably) AA flashlight to EDC for occasions like yesterday. Suggestions?

Fenix E11/E12 are plenty bright and cheap enough...it's my EDC work&play light.
Streamlight. They have wonderful and cost efficient edc lights. I've got the microstream and the protac aaa. I love them. They're not the best lights, but for the dough, they probably are.

And have you ever seen a moccasin bite artificial bait??? A guy we were fishing with at the creek yesterday pulled him in.
^cool beans ww. Love myself some good ol' veggie garden. Good stuff. You're gonna love the results when they're in your meals
Nice veggies!
And not a moccasin, but a regular water snake. When we were kids, my brother over cast with a hula popper (looks like a frog) and it landed in the cattails on the other side of the pond. It was promptly attacked by a water snake...we had an interesting time getting the snake off the lure...if I recall, a shovel was involved...

I've heard cotton mouths (water moccasins) are very aggressive and do nest up. My wife tells a story about them swarming and attacking a jon boat her grandpa took her in.

Better bait than your leg.
Good looking garden, bro. I'm thinkin' you don't think about Philly at all any more......and I don't blame you one bit. Looks like you are totally home.
I also like the Protac AAA model, which has a pocket clip. I bought a handful one year and everyone in the family got one for Christmas.
Awesome pictures man!! Looks like a great place to explore!!!
