Thanks Elaine! The really sad part is that most of the trash we found was close to the canoe launch entrance where there were two 55 gallon trash cans. Over lunch we discussed the crazy things we found, like a bunch of ceramic tile I found, and a toilet another lady found! We do have twice a week pickup here in Hillsborough County - there's no excuse not to dispose of trash properly. Next month we're going to be doing the same thing at a park in one of the older neighborhoods of Tampa. Dad thought I should show you guys the other critter I found - and luckily I saw it first because Mom is deadly afraid of snakes. This is a cottonmouth. It's funny, as much as I go hiking I rarely see snakes.

In funny news, I was looking for all my teeny tiny sulphur cats; I had the lid open and was literally turning over each leaf. I was about to close up the critter keeper when I noticed one of the cats had crawled onto my thumb. I never even felt it! They're so small; it's crazy!
