My 11 year old son is herp fanatic. I, on the other hand, am not! He's currently taking a junior herpetology certification course on-line with a bunch of other herp nerds from all over the world, it's pretty cool. He's starting the snake section of the course this week so he's pretty stoked. He's also asking for a pet snake or scorpion or tarantula, basically anything that's deadly and kills. The wife is not having it!almost forgot...one more. This wasn't from a fishing trip, but a family camping trip. We were driving along this gravel road and I slammed on the brakes and pulled over (wife and kid were like, WTF?)...ran back and saved this little guy/gal from certain death. No sooner had I grab him/her, than a large truck came barreling down the road. Clearly it didn't give a fuck that I had just saved it....
I’ll be brief on a survey topic books have been written about. When the original surveys were conducted (townships, sections, etc, mostly in the 1800s) there were various ways to mark the actual section corner (often a buried rock with an “X”) and auxiliary evidence to help locate the corners (often blazes on trees). One story often told at surveyors conventions is that some surveyors planted blackberries in the immediate vicinity.
Just fyi, snakes are damn near the perfect pet. Low maintenance, generally pretty chill. I had 9 when I met my wife! I'm down to 2, but "Slither" is almost 24. Fuckin awesome animal.
Not me but my brother. In a tank top and shorts in the summer. I felt horrible for himDevils club is not that bad, it usually isn't that thick and spread out compared to other species!.
Now who has crashed their bikes into a forest of stinging nettles as a kid rais your hand!️
Like a natural trap for us soft humans! I learned the hard way - bird hunting with a buddy, and we cam across a huge blackberry field in a high tension line clearimg. There was a narrow trail that didn't look too threatening. My friend sighed and said we need to go around. I laughed, plowed in, and spent the next 15 or so minutes gingerly trying to unstuck myself and feeling like a fool. I think I made it a whopping 3-4 feet into the brambles. I did at the time think it was good to learn this lesson wearing jeans rather than waders...
looks like east cape....Shipwrecks, La Fortuna, Nine Palms..
