s car go... at our job site in irwindale on 3-14-08...

there were dozens of them in the bushes... they would scoot across this portion of dirt to the other side where there were more bushes... they would go 2 at a time... once 2 were across the next 2 would go for it... crazy...

Love your posts O.  Keep 'em coming.  All that's missing is a little garlic butter and you've got lunch (actually I'd feed 'em off on some iceberg lettuce first).  Locally they use them in a soup in the spring flavored with wild garlic which grows like a weed here.

We got them on the slope behind us.  They come by the 10,000s - really Biblical kind thing.  They are kind of fun to watch foam when they hit the deadline stuff.  ::)

Nice Pics "O".
Good to hear from you.  Didn't recall seeing anything from you in the last few days and was concerned the March 20th Holiday had caught up to you.
LQ, In death valley, you drink water for fun.  Anything else would be death.   :-\
