to thank Kristina and Micah for all their work in setting up the picnic and Mark for his excellent cooking. MMM, those ribs!! And, thanks to all the folks who came although I consider it shameful that only three officers deigned to show up. :cray: Oh, well, maybe next time. I was happy to meet a lot of you guys and gals, especially those folks who made the trek from Yuma, Prescott and Flag and to renew acquaintances with others.

Kristina, this is for you>>:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

I agree! Kristina and Micah put together a great picnic, now that it's over, I can't wait for the fall picnic.
Thanks to Kristina & Christina (Mochas...) for watching out for my snakes out there. Glad they were saved from overheating so they all got home save and sound. My beardie seemed to enjoy being out, she had gotten a good 30 - 45 minutes of full sun earlier today, so was sure looking pretty and dark.

Sean, I really love the pic of the AZ Black with the crowd behind it, that's just too cool! the closeups that you took while laying on the ground were all great. I don't get down on the ground like that, cause I might not get up. LOL

Thanks to Diego and Mark for giving us the opportunity to get some great pics. I know Sean loved this speckled, and I loved the Arizona Black Rattler, it was beautiful! Excellent markings.

a BIG thank you to Krissy, Micah, Christina, Kat, and everyone else who helped with the picnic.................and to all who made the long drive to hang out and have fun.

It's so nice to be able to spend time with all of you and your families. we also had a few new mwembers sign up, BONUS!!!

who wants to do a fall picnic at south mountain??

Sorry I missed it looks like a great time was had by all. I was glad the dust wall decided not to hit you all until after the picnic. I have to make it to the fall picnic. South Mountain or White tanks would be great! Anybody do any herping during or after the picnic?

Fleas

04-29-2007, 11:56 AM

Sean, I would be Happy to help you.. IM me
Great shots Viborero
That's fine with me.. Mark. I could do it quarterly
Holy Moley Leslie.. Your picture is my new desktop.. One of the guys got a very nice chuck.. I will let him post the picture

I don't remember Micah only having one leg, but Fleas' panoramic picture wouldn't lie, would it?!

Awesome pics Sean, you were definately the one making the effort to get those great perspectives.

It was well worth the trip from Yuma to meet everyone and the White Tanks is a beautiful place. Thank God, I didn't have to fight the PHX big city traffic to get there.

Good people, good fun, and some great healthy pet reptiles!

Kudos to Christina for coordinating the picnic and taking the time to make it happen!:applause: and too the other members who brought food and volunteered their time.:drinks:

Fleas

Wow Viborero.. How did that happen? Gosh, perhaps Micah has a retractable leg :uplaugh:

I was wondering if that chuck was found there. I have seen many but can never get to them before they disappear into the rocks. That is one animal that I would take home. For the most part I just enjoy photographing and releasing.

Fleas

04-29-2007, 03:41 PM

Yes the chuckwalla was found during the picnic. I want the guy who caught it to post the picture. Here is my poor verison http://fleas.smugmug.com/photos/147763800-L.jpg

Thanks John!! That is just wrong.....!!:nea:

We had a great time and shame on you to all that did not make it out there.

No thats Kristina measuring up my 3rd leg in Johns Pano shot. Look closely Diego, don't drool. I do have 3 LEGS in that picture. Please don't be hating. Remember you have the little man syndrome hook and bucket!

Why are you so jealous of my superior hook? I think the clinical term is called "hook envy". I'm very sorry yours is puny and weak. Not everyone's hook can be so well endowed as mine...:Nana

Fleas, I can't help but notice the fellow in the visor has an awfully bright complexion for being under a ramada...wassup wid dat?

gretzkyrh4

04-30-2007, 01:15 PM

That would be me in the visor and wow I really do have a bright face in that shot. Maybe I just need more sun? Guess I need to leave work early today and do some herping. That should take care of it.

SavannahMonitor

04-30-2007, 01:24 PM

i think its just the exposure from his camera, or the filter

i think its just the exposure from his camera, or the filter

Still I think I'll use it as an excuse to skip out on work and do some herping.

If we want to do South Mtn for the Fall, we might want to look at putting in the reservation now..... (or at the next board meeting)

South Mountain?? We Might Get Robbed Out There, Or Shot!! Lol

katsnake

05-03-2007, 02:26 PM

we could use the bait & Switch, they'd come for Mark's ribs n chicken and offer them a live crote handed to them instead..... they'd run.

We had a bum on a bike come up to us in the dark at Bookman's parking lot, asking for change. I turned around to face him while holding my 6 ft long black pine snake... He said "is that a real snake?":confused: and I said "yes he is" By the time I said "is", the man turned tail :running: and was halfway across the parking lot, pedaling as fast as he could. LOL :uplaugh:
