Man, I love the summer time
Lots of hiking, smokin and exploring
Today was very warm and I decided to take a short hike and see if I could find some rattlesnakes. Unfortunately, I didn't see any but I did see a nice lizard and a coyote on my walk. I took some pictures and even did a few self timed pictures of myself. Late
Hell yea! I love doing outdoor stuff when stoned. Just the other day I caught 3 different kinds of fish on the same trip and even caught a 3 foot snake. Pretty fuckin wild.
The only time I have ever gotten lost in the woods is when I had to run from the cops at a field party. I was coked up, drunk, and had a shitty set of flip-flops on. I had to run through this haggard ass swamp and ended up getting leeches and all kinds of shit on my feet.Quote:

the title of this thread sounds like the most dangerous idea ever
no worst then huffing air duster. LOL
my second time getting high me and a friend were walking home, it was getting late, and it was quite warm out, and there was a rattle-fucking-snake that my friend wanted to 'catch and keep for a pet' i told him he was out of his fucking mind if he thinks i was getting anywhere near it. then he started chasing it (it was a baby, but sometimes baby's venom is even more powerful then full adults) and it starts slithering away, and he's trying to stomp on it's goddamn tail with his foot.... i was hoping he'd step on it so it'd bite his ass then i could fucking laugh at his ass for being a fuckin idiot while we wait for the paramedics to come...
Believe me, I am not trying to catch any snake. I just like to see them and get some nice photos of them. I do my best to try and respect nature, not destroy it.
Times sure have changed. When i was young we would get stoned and go out and look for girls and a frisbee. :DQuote:

I see that hwy 120 east, going towards hwy 395 is going to be closed fairly late due to the high snowpack. The waterfalls and the Merced river are running very high volume in Yosemite. Fucking sweet.:thumbsup:
I live in San Francisco and i also have a cabin up in the Truckee area.
I go up there every chance i get.
One of my favorite things to do is take my scooter to Kings Canyon and coast down the side of the Mountain on it.. Very nice. From Azaleia camp ground down to the Kings River. The ride down is awesome.
Great day here in SF today. I am out the door going down to Muddy Waters Cafe to pick some tunes with a couple friends.
420 Peace,

Sillly me. What was I thinking? Have respect for others, live and let live. Ha! KILL AND TORTURE THE PLANET there now do i fit in? :p
The title of this thread says it all.
..... who said any of that? i love snakes, i think he's fucked for crushing it's head with a rock (when he surely could of just went around it) but still... he can be in the woods if he wants to.... having no right to kill an 'innocent' living creature, and having no right to step foot into it's natural territory/home are two diffrent things... snakes can't post up 'Keep Out' signs, so thier home is pretty much free to everyone and everything... along with just about every other livng creature in this world...Quote:

The snake had no interests in you. Educate yourself.Quote:

Yeah, I got a buddy (my old dealer) that moved from San Diego up to Bishop and he is an avid Fly Fisher. He loves it up there. Said he can catch 20 in a morning sometimes and no shortage of awesome places to go. I have been there a few times and I have also been to Bridgeport when I was in the Corps for a snow survival/skiing training course. IMO an incredible part of Cali. Here is a couple of hikes that I want to do.Quote:

i had no interest in him either but he was in my way and i killed him. i dont like snakes especially poisonous ones and i have no qualms with doing the same in the future.Quote:

and keep the rattles and head
Ever been up to White Mountain? Not too far from Bishop and you get an incredible view of the Sierras. You can drive up to about 10,000 feet to where the ancient bristlecone pines are. Definitely someplace woth checkingout.Quote:

Being in TX, I'm still trying to discover the good outdoor spots. Some guy I ran into told me about a lookout point near where I live so I may go check that out. Get blazed and watch thunderstorms...the best!!!
Check out this beauty. I found her a couple years ago, crawling across the trail about a mile or so from my house. I'd guess she was about 6-7' long.
Cool:cool: That thing is big. The rattler must be 2 inches long.
Check these out. This is no more than 3 miles from my house.
this is the eastern diamandback the kind we got out here. lots of copperheads too.
The mountains in California are amazing. I can hike for hours and never get bored.Quote:

California is like no other place in America. I could never leave here.
Her trails are like the curves on a womans body. I have to explore every inch and still want more.

Thats a nice photo of the Wolf you have posted by your name. The thought process that you have towards beautiful snakes almost wiped the Wolf off the planet.Quote:

I have encountered Mountain Lions, Rattle Snakes, Grizzly Bear, Black Bear, and never had to kill any of them. Give yourself and the animals you encounter some space.
