From last night:

There are alligators in northeastern North Carolina all the way up to the Virginia border. But they're shy and reclusive and spotting them can be a challenge. Here's the only one I was able to find last night. Not huge, but any sighting is a victory

But mud, fire ants and cottonmouths are worth it for those moments of Zen that keep me coming back.
