+Dan-oh Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Last night I saw 2 of these little critters on my hike. Looked 'em up when I got home to find that its a California Black-Headed Snake. Soon as I touched him, he squirmed around so fast, he wanted nothing to do with me. He's thinner than a pencil and about 10" long. Kinda like a big worm. Can you say fish bait? Quote Link to comment

Soon as I touched him, he squirmed around so fast, he wanted nothing to do with me. He's thinner than a pencil and about 10" long. Kinda like a big worm. Can you say fish bait? Thanks for the post, Dan-oh. Always like to learn about new species in our uniquely diverse San Diego eco-habitats. There is a very similar species that I have seen locally, primarily in the desert - the Western Blind Snake (Leptotyphlops humilis). It is not certain if they are really blind. Theylooks like over-sized earthworms and are sometimes informally referred to as worm snakes. I have seen blind snakes mostly at night, including on one memorable backpack into between Third and Fourth Grove in Borrego Palm Canyon. Ths one became sort of a camp mascot since it came out of a hole in the ground near my ground cloth at nearly the same time each evening. Because of their tiny mouths, they mainly eat ant and termite eggs. Here are some descriptive links: http://museum.utep.edu/archive/reptiles/DDblindsnake.htm http://www.californiaherps.com/snakes/pages/l.h.humilis.html http://museum.utep.edu/chih/theland/animal...ptiles/lehu.htm http://www.nps.gov/tont/nature/snakeblind.htm -Gecko Dad Quote Link to comment

One more attribute of the Western Blind Snake - in addition to looking nearly identical to an earth worm, they don't like to be handled and will try to escape. Here's another link that I forgot to include. http://www.werc.usgs.gov/fieldguide/lehu.htm -Gecko Dad Quote Link to comment

Maybe it's true what they say about east and west of I-5. We're just some dumb ol' cowboys. Delighted to have you visit our cowboy caches. This time of year we don't hold out much hope for finders. Makes a long summer for Carpenter and I. We thrill at sighting an unfamiliar vehicle rolling by the ranch. We are in the early stages of preparing cowboy fifteen. Got some buying and fabrication to do. Harmon The Sandy Creek Cowboys Quote Link to comment

Maybe I understand y'all more than you think, I am from way west of I-5 (Central Florida to be exact), so once I saw how your minds were thinking most of them were purty easy. Then again, maybe we're just really good geocachers. We are very proud of ourselves for getting 12 SCC cache's in one day, and we made a new record for ourselves for 20 cache's in one day. Thanks for the FUN(!!!) cache's, looking forward to getting out there again. BTW... love them SCC micros! Quote Link to comment

+GoBolts! Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hi, Received this info. from SoCalAdmin. "...we have begun distribution of the new white jeep TBs here in Southern California and I know that a good chunk of the ones that we received are coming down to the San Diego area and should start popping up around soon. Unfortunately we only received 108 of them from geocaching.com for the entire lower half of the state (from Monterey Bay to San Diego), so they will be few and far between I'm afraid. We are doing our best to see that they are spread out as much as possible. What happens to them after they leave our hands is completely out of our control of course..." Quote Link to comment

It was the first puzzle I actually solved of yours, but never made time to visit it 'cause of its location, a decision I have regretted. Speaking of location, if anyone has coords for Spam Haiku, I'm willing to join you on the hike/visit. I DNF'ed once already and would rather not have to go back a third, forth, etc... time.

Idiosyncratic, Toward evening is a great time of day out toward the ranch. The mountains shield the low western sun so we get that rubescent light early on. You know, romance of the old west sort of thang. Makes an ol' cowboy break into song. I was ridin' on th' range An' came upon a bird, Who's pecker was stuck In a fresh horse .... . Come a ti-yi yippy, yippy yay, yippy yay Come a ti-yi yippy, yippy yay. Come on girl, sang it a couple o' times with us. That'd be th' birds bill what was stuck of course. That's Thing Ranch in your photo as opposed to the historic Thing Valley Ranch that's further up La Posta Truck trail. Glad you enjoyed our latest effort.
