"Graham Mitchell leads tours for Everglades International Hostel, where "Never safe, always fun'' is the motto...The thrill of our day: an 8-foot Eastern diamondback coiled and rattling within snapshot distance. The pathos: an obscure plaque remembering Guy Bradley, an Audubon game warden killed in 1905 by plume hunters when great egret feathers sold for $30 an ounce." - Patricia Borns, 'Ways to the Glades', The Boston Globe. "Believe me,' said Graham, my strapping swamp guide, 'it's scared of you.' He looked down at my white-knuckle grip on his upper arm, a limb that Popeye would envy. At 5ft 2in (or perhaps 5ft 4in with my hair standing on end from the shock), and carrying no weapon more ferocious than a pencil, I had managed to frighten a five-metre alligator." - Joanna Walters, 'The really wild show', The Sunday Times Travel Magazine
