Anyway the last coldfront went through Wed/Thur so I was a few days late for that. We were on our cruis...

Re: Road hunting blues

Welcome to Nevada! I'm no professional herper and only get out when work, family and other commitments allow me which isn't as often as I like. If you've been out every other night you may have been out more since you've been here than I've done in the last 3 years. However, I have noticed some thin...
