Sam,
Thank you for the photographs! That garden railroad certainly was not what I was expecting at the Biltmore, but I like it a lot. Yes I agree with Allan that they are very creative folk!!
Wow, I only saw a snapper once. Back 40 years ago I was stopped at a rest stop along Interstate 80, and a guy asked if I wanted to see his watchdog. I didn't really care, until he threw back a tarp in his pickup bed and there was a snapper with a hole in the edge of it's shell, chained to the bed. He said someone stole his tools once, but no one goes near his tools with this whopper there. True story.
