Hey Rich- I remember that story! Grant had a helluva time trying to drive and hold on to the snake. I came out of the shower one night at Nam Pung Dam(Thailand) to find a 12 foot python stretched out on the sidewalk... At Nong Takoo, one of our teams was going out on a MedCap- A young captain gave Al Drapeau a .22 cal revolver with 3 rounds. He told Al that a tiger had carried off an old woman in the village he was headed for. Al Gave it back to him....Snakes! Geezus!! Read Don Valentine's story of scouting out a location for what became Nong Takoo...
One of the locals fron Ban Kham Phoem(the village by Nam Pung) killed a 200 kilo wild boar with a muzzle Loader. I still have one of he tusks. At Nam Pung one of the engineers bought a sun bear cub at the market. It would get away and climb the pole that held our electrical equipment. The only thing it would come down for was a bottle of Squirt!!
