Yep, thats the place!! Our friends lived in Hoover. In fact we almost moved out there... But somehow glad we ended up here. I like my DRY heat!
As for the water.... Another friend of mine grew up in the south, and they used to rustle the water with sticks before they went swimming. She said it worked?? All I know is I'm the polar opposite of Nanci on this one!! I won't even pull the mtn bike off the rack right now because there "might" be snakes on the trail!!
Today when I was running one of the more humanly travelled trails I saw snake tracks in the sand. And ALOT of them!! Let's just say I took the paved trail home!
Yeah, so I'm with you on this one!! I dunno if I'd be going in that water either?? And that stinks, cause a girls gotta get her OW training in!!
