I took my son cruising for some action.

He popped his cherry

But, my first blonde just left me disappointed and wanting more.

After enjoying his first, Josh decided to spice things up with a little variety.

We also cruised an atrox, but I figured some things should wait til after he starts shaving.

Josh has been out road cruising with me before, but this was the first time that HE actually caught the snakes.

thats what its all about man.Keep the kids in it.All five of my Daughters have collected atleast a couple snake apiece.
My oldest is just about to turn 18 so now its just memories.Enjoy them young my Friend.

p.s. that sucks about the blonde.They aren't all that great anyway.LOL.......

I don't ever want to see that on the road... It would make me cry... I can't wait till my son is old enough to road cruise.

So sorry about the blonde suboc.

Best Wishes,

Steven

Great Shots of a great time of life!!

Thanks for sharing!

Congrats to Josh on his catches .. darn shame about the suboc. Your boy's going to be a ladykiller. I should be in the area sometime on the 16th, will give you a shout, probably from the Ranch office payphone.

I'll be looking forward to it. Hopefully, you can spare some time to help me with a herp survey on a couple of my properties. I know there are alterna and rock rattlers on my Luna Vista tract, but I've yet to catch any. Also, I just acquired another tract in BFE with some EXCELLENT habitat. I was there yesterday and today to take photos and mark the corners. I walked the canyons for about 2 hrs in the dark and about 6 hours in the daylight. No snakes, but a TON of lizards. I also found what looks like an abandoned mountain lion den in one of the canyons (found it today, after walking the opposite side of the canyon last night -I'm glad it wasn't inhabited by a hungry lion).

Great job and congratulations on an awesome trip with your son. I am sure he will never forget it.
