We sit between two major mountain ranges the Apalachians and Cumberlands with plenty of high ridges and smaller mountain ranges in between. My land goes from about 980 ft to nealy 1300 ft on 28 acres. IOW steep. Some of the creeks are so cold they will support trout. That is the main reason this region isn't suitable for Cottonmouths. If I saw one here I would highly suspect it was one somebody has turned loose. The same with the ocassional Gator spottings :>} http://epaper.tfponline.com/WebChannel/ShowStory.asp?Path=ChatTFPress/2007/03/14&ID=Ar00102
