Smartest decision of yer lifetime! Look how long you have lived since that decision Thumbs Up Very Happy

People have been known to wake up either in the night or dawn in their bedrolls or sleeping bags with a friend inside that wasn't there when they went to sleep..

Copperheads and eastern diamond backs are the two notorious critters in the eastern part of the US. We have them here in the very southern portions of Ohio as well.

We also have Blue Racers. I've been chased by one of those. Mean little suckers.

You guys just keep reminding me . . .

A long long long time ago now, my brother and I were looking for a campground. We found a half built campground. Yeaaaay - we can camp free tonight.

So we was driving around the upper loop and there was this humungous rattler type snake. I swear, his head was on one side of the road and his tail on the other. (One lane road.) He curled up in the middle of the road, and my brother said "I want to take his picture."

So I said "Just lean out the window and take it."

Yep. That bad boy had that entire camp ground all to himself that night.

Zim.
