Produktbeschreibung

Come along as four young explorers set out on an overland expedition to Mexico and Guatemala on a voyage of exploration and discovery.

This true story recounts the experiences of recent high school graduates who travel from their Florida hometown to the unfamiliar mountains and tropical jungles of Central America.

Piled into a specially-equipped Land Rover, pulling a trailer laden with the supplies and provisions needed for an eight-week road trip, they travel west to Texas, then deep into Mexico, discovering along the way that no matter how much they planned, danger can strike an unexpected blow.

Making new friends as they went, they crossed paths with unusual creatures, collected wild specimens, and experienced the kindness of strangers.

A recently re-discovered 8mm movie from the trip provides the background for William Thacker's vivid description of the incredible journey. Along the way, they encounter local inhabitants and exotic wildlife, scenic vistas, and unforeseen perils. The four relied on the strength and ingenuity of each other to survive, and naturally, it forged a unique bond among them that lasts to this day.

Autorenporträt

Ever since four-year-old William Thacker got to hold a black rat snake, he has been fascinated by animals. As a child, he kept a menagerie in his family's back yard in Florida, then moved his collection to Clermont's Citrus Tower where, at the age of fifteen, he was giving guided tours and "milking" rattlesnakes for the public at The Wildlife Arena.

Throughout his life, William has involved himself in traveling, collecting, and teaching about wildlife. He has been a youth camp nature director, a teacher, and a television host. He has operated an import company, an exotic animal shop, and has worked as a zoo educator.

In 2019 William returned to Florida and began writing Thacker Tales. He now resides in the Black Hammock Wilderness Area where he continues to pen the stories of his incredible life with animals.
