South Carolina June 2008

Headed down to SC with my daughter to visit my family. While I was there I got to get out and do some herping for a little bit here an there. Had some good luck. Most the target species I was aiming for I did not find as time was limited and the places were to far to work with during out stay. We were therr from May 31st – June 8th. Part of the week we went camping down near charleston, SC.
