Camper has heart attack and dies after being bitten at Current River.
My mom had a snake come up inside her inner tube when she was tubing there once.

It wasn't a copperhead, but we had a 5-6 ft. snake swim under our canoe on the Current River.  It kept me out of the water!!

Went to George Washington Carver Nat Monument and my kid sees a snake on the walking path so naturally he picks it up and shows it off. Yes it was just a black speckeled king snake thing but I wanted to ralph. Snakes do not bother him but boy they sure do me!

You were spittin' distance from my family's farm.  Shadow Lake holds (ahem) some memories for me when I was in high school
