About 2p.m yesterday I was doing my usual checking of the weather. I always use the point forecast and check the river and Blackgap. Anyway I noticed that they were calling fo Highs around 90 and a low of 65 with 11 p.m temps of 77. It also called for the area to have t-storms. Anyway I had not spent any money on gas the last several days, so I left Del Rio at 5.
All the way to Sanderson it was cloudy and very cool, but around Marathon the clouds started to break just a LITTLE.
7:50 P.M in the flats on 385 south I see my first snake. I almost did not turn around as I was sure it was just an atrox that was coiled on the road. I did anyway as I was still afraid it might be the only snake I saw that night. Flipped around and get out of the car and what do you know but it was a large female heterdon that was barely alive. Not 2 feet from it was a smaller male that was also hit
. I figure the car that passed me not 3 minutes earlier had hit the pair breeding
.
Rest of the Night (till 1am)
4 Atrox
2 Hypsies
1 Sonora
1 Suboc
2 Rhinos
1 scute
I would guess weather was perfect, Storms were all around and around 10:30 the lower road was hit with sprinkles and the upper (Around the wardens house) got hit a little more (above stillwells was pounded). Temps stuck to the upper 70's lower and middle 70's upper.
