Hi,
Thanks for the pics. Being an easterner, I have always appreciated those shots of desert herps in situ that you and others have put up over the years. But, until I drove through the desert, from Vegas to the southern rim of the Grand Canyon, I really didn't have any concept of the topography. It is truly the most beautiful and amazing natural habitat that I've ever seen. I would have put my house up for sale and moved my fiancee, and the snakes down there the next weekend if not for the horribly oppressive heat in the valleys during the summer (late July). The high elevation leading up to the canyon was very tolerable....a truly dry, comfortable 100F...but that 116F in the Vegas valley was unbearable.
Do you folks often get comfortable(90-100F) breezy days at higher elevation during the summer in Arizona, or did I just get lucky with the weather....and are black widows really that common? Thanks again for the photos.
Will
