    Re: Narcisse Dens

    Arrived at the dens early Sat. morning. Saw no snakes. Too cold. Got some sleep and went back mid afternoon. It was AWESOME to say the least. Took a lot of photos and videos. Little did I know, the best was yet to come for my family and I. We were given some special info. and were able to get right into a den. It was unbelievable. The photos and video we shot were a once in a lifetime opportunity. We were the only people at the den and were not held back by any fences. We were able to be within inches of the mating balls and emerging snakes. The photos and video are priceless. Being on the ground with thousands all around was something special. They were as curious about us as we were them. Photos and video are nothing compared to being there. There is more I would like to share but I'm tired and need to sleep. I will explain the whole expirience on a future post.

    Just crawled in the house dragging the kids. We made back without any problems. It was a good weekend.
    I'm not sure how those 200 red-sided garters snakes got in my van and how Customs missed them but I guess I'll have to make room for them
    Post more later. Thanks for all your prayers.
