Florida is doomed...

Re: Florida is doomed...
We are now in South Florida. The original trailer we brought couldn't hold all of the bamboo we snuck out of Tampa, so we ditched that one and hi-jacked an 18 wheeler.
Re: Florida is doomed...
Today we visited with Sherry at Bamboo Florida, and FILLED the truck and trailer up. Tomorrow we are visiting Chuck at Bountiful Earth, and then starting the long drive home. What a week!

Re: Florida is doomed...
so other than roadtrip/collecting expiedition, your trip was an accounting of the Who's Who of the tropical bamboo world!

Re: Florida is doomed...
It was indeed a great trip. Mantis can sure organize and plan the agenda. It was such a pleasure to see Roy again and meet so many others I have dealt with over the years.
