Geocaching is big fun. I have been doing it with the neighbors for a while but just logged on not too long ago. Seems like like minds are like minds :)

King snakes and texas black rat snakes are welcome in my book. I have been bitten by a texas black rat snake in the wild, and it left a good welt. Just glad it was not something from the viper family!

I do wonder what the secret service call him tho. Is that public knowledge?

Actually, my hair did look quite astounding during the encounter.

I think the animal knew he was outnumbered and he did not want to tangle with us, we just had him backed up to water with no out.

Still, quite the adrenalin rush!

I was out with the kids geocaching by a steam on a trail back is some pretty deep woods. I did not see the coyote that was drinking out of the stream, and we were being quiet enough, that we were pretty much right on top of him before all of us including the coyote become aware of each other.

The kids screamed and ran backwards, I froze and drew my gun, then started backing off slowly. Once I was far enough away, the coyote bolted across the trail and into the woods.

Needless to say, it was an exciting encounter, and the first time to draw since having the CHL.

We saw a king snake later, but that was no big deal after the coyote experience.
