We ran 277 and Juno Friday night and saw 2 rough greens, a longnose, emorys, atrox, checkered garter, night snake, and a mountain patchnose.

Saturday we drove from Comstock to River Rd and back. Found a DOR tantilla between Marathon and Alpine. River Rd. was hot but found an AOR coachwhip, AOR mottled Rock on top of Big Hill, AOR gopher snake, 3 AOR nightsnakes, On 118 on the way back between Terlingua and Alpine we found 1 suboc, 2 hooknose, 2 longnose, 1 pictigastor, emorys rat, mottled rock. On 90 between Alpine and Marathon we found 1 kansas glossy. One more longnose on 90 and then South of Dryden we found this...




It had just been hit on 90 at 4:30am. He was still very much alive and trying to get away but the lower 1/3 of the body was stuck to the road and it was a fatal injury. This was the heartbreaker of the trip.
