Idaho trip

[ssssnakeluvr]

I am back from Idaho, had a fun herping trip! saw my sister and brother-in-law (back from Iraq, 4th tour, retiring!!!!! did an awesome job too...won the Bronze Star award!!!!) will be posting some pics of the snakes I got later...saw only a few wandering garters....most common snake there :confused:
found tons of valley garters tho!!!!!!

Wow- nice finds, but give your B-I-N a big congrats from me. I only went twice, and since it was USAF it was considerably shorter than the Army folks go through. Glad he's back safe and sound. I actually miss it more than I thought. The Reserves it is then!!!!

[ssssnakeluvr]

yea, definitely longer...he's a combat engineer, in the middle of the crap...all 4 tours were at least a year long, probably longer...glad he got out of there in 1 piece!!!

See, and the other folks I was with, I am sure I did too, but I don't want to call myself out on it, were griping at the OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH 6 month tours.

Don, get those pics up of the Valley Garters already! And if you think you can't handle all of them I know someone relatively close to you that could take them off your hands.;)

Give my congrats and my deepest gratitude to you bro-in-law.
