sounds like fun... In the now immortalized words of a child in Portland Oregon..."I like turtles"

I've always wanted to find a six-lined racerunner but I'm pretty awful at spotting the lizardfolk.

I have been a great adorer of anything and everything related to nature. I have been an adventure bum for a very long time now and things have really been working well for me. From being able to get to hike a lot of mountains to getting to appreciate the marine life that is vastly ahead of us, that just makes for something that you would get to appreciate even more if you take part of it.
