You should see the looks I get sometimes when I start talking in glowing
terms about the latest swamp I've enjoyed. Hard to convey just how much
I love getting out and being ripped by the vegetation, threatened by the
wildlife, getting covered in smelly mud, contributing my quota of blood
to the well being of certain insects...
There is a real joy in knowing what's there like old friends. I don't
think I can ever find out enough. I've spent my whole life doing this as
much as I can.
I'm off for more grand fun tomorrow!
Walt
