My dad told me how he was working in a CCC camp in Oregon during the depression. His camp was cutting hiking trails through the mountains with shovels when a rattlesnake bit him on the leg. His high leather boots saved the day. Do we ever stop to think about how a lot of the trails happened to get made? Young guys during the depression worked on crews do this and other improvement projects around the US. This gave them paying jobs when there were none, and half their pay was sent home to their mothers. It sure helped my dad's family a long time before I was born.
Good stuff! Headed to Ut next month.
Thanks! Are you going to be looking for any particular species?
Need to find the Great Basin. Dont have them in Vegas as far as I know.
Thanks for the invite nfo
Agreed!
Knee high snake boots are a great investment. A rattlesnake bite can cost you a hundred grand.😥
Very valid point!
