Well let us start out be answering this equation...

Scut 1
Lepidus (Crocket County) 1
Pictogaster (Black Gap) 1
2 Subocs
Longnose 5
Ground 5
Night snakes 2
TMTC Spadefoot toads
TMTC Lizards all over the place
TMTC Tarantulas and Scorpians
TMTC Black Widows ... Good God they were everywhere...
1 VERY LARGE Centipede... Hope you class likes this Stu.

Most all were AOR. Spent most of our time in the Gap. Temps were in the high 50s everywhere else by 1:00 am or so. Gap temps were in the hi 60s low 70s late at night.

Gas at Stillwell is locked at 2.99 due to the old pump...

It was great running into Stu Tennyson who I used to bug all the time 10 years ago. Pandale was completely flooded about 4 miles south of the crocket county line.

Sorry Coach and Mo that we didn't get to talk more. I wished we had more time...

Best Wishes,

Beautiful lep, Steven! Were the longnoses red or did they have a pinkish wash to them?

I wish I had taken pictures. Most juvenile to mid size longnose are gorgeous from the Gap area. I would say very bright colors. Each one may be a little different but I don't know if I would say pink. Most are red or orange.

Best Wishes,

Steven
