CJ and I joined up with a group of local SDMB hammerheads last night for a jaunt up to Cherry Tank. Riding from 6:30 to 10:30 PM we encountered quite a few critters:

Four rattlesnakes, one had a very close encounter by the third rider in line when we stopped to admire a tarantula. We probably rode past a few more but thought they were rocks or cow pies.

Six tarantulas, apparently all males cruising the trails for lady tarantulas.

One fleeting skunk, which apparently gave a small spray to cover its withdrawl, something the riders behind me who did not see it smelled.

One millipede All rolled up with legs retracted.

And a set of mountain lion tracks, one mature and one a bit younger judging by the paw size and stride.

A far cry from the last Cherry Tank ride I did with SDMB when we tallied one scorpion and a pretty large and aggressive wind scorpion.

Hey I forgot the mini Komodo Dragon.

A.k.a. the teenaged Gila Monster in Happy Valley.

Excellent ride with excellent riders, trails and wildlife.

That was one sweet ride! I'm glad I was riding anchor - you'uns skeered all of those tandy branders so my shorts were still clean. Jeff could have been in a bad way so easily.

Oh yeah - you left the huge toad off of the count!
