It was a really great field meet. Some cool herps along with great fellowship, good food, and lots of "snake stories". It was great seeing a lot of old friends and meeting some new ones. My hat is off to Jason Penney for ramrodding this event and getting it pulled off without a hitch. George Gries, the ranch owner was a great host and an overall cool dude.

I look forward to a return trip, because I think we only scratched the surface. Hopefully next time we will have a little more moisture and milder temps.

Here are just a few random photos.
