If it's one thing we love to do, it's Jeeping! There is nothing like having the top off the Jeep and the wind blowing through our hair. (By our, I of course mean Cameron and I ;O) ) Any way, on Wednesday the 17th, we loaded up our Jeep with snacks and drinks and took off for an undetermined destination for an undetermined amount of time. It was one of those thing were we went where the trail took us. Well, we started off at the gas station. Two things, well there are more than two, but two thing about our Jeep. A) the gas tank is dented in reducing it's size by about 5 gallons B) our gas gage doesn't work all the time . . . so before heading out for an undetermined amount of time, it's best to fill up.
We knew we wanted to head up through Batista canyon. If we're staying local, I prefer Batista to Bee Canyon any day. So we headed off. The pavement doesn't end until you hit the conservation camp. Now Cameron knows quite a bit when it comes to the inner and outer workings of the fire department, but it was quite difficult to explain, well the conversation lasted on and off the whole day, about the difference between, this fire station (the fact that it's a state prison) and other fire stations. But that's a whole other blog!
During our trek, shortly after we hit the dirt, we came across our first wildlife specimen. It was, I'm assuming, a Gardner snake crossing the road and it moved in such a particular way. It took several minutes for this snake to cross the road (hey that kind of sounds like a bad joke!) that I video tapped it, because I had never seen one move like that. We wondered for a while if it was injured, but then left it alone. I sure as heck wasn't about to play snake doctor.

What a fun family you are!
That snake was BIZARRE! Yuck! It did look injured!
I remember when my dad went to work @ the camps (Warner Springs) and my parents trying to explain to me about the fire fighters there. LOL
