They're not native to Nevada - they came in on imported palm trees. They're straw colored and this one scared the Sierra out of me by crawling on my arm :shock: I think it's what stung Cindy and gave her a bit of a reaction to its venom a couple of years ago. And yes, the band from Deutchland ROCKS :D !!! I got to see them in a double concert with Alice Cooper many years ago 8) Yep, that camera goes everywhere with me :) OK, I may not be able to take it with me to the nuclear test site when I finally go on the DOE tour, but I’ll sacrifice the photography for National Security :wink:

At least you do remember to take your camera! 2.Scorpions are easily dispatched with substantial foot wear. And a Mossberg Snake Charmer doesn't hurt either. I have killed many in the past. My first wife was from the Four Corners area, Farmington and Aztec, NM to be exact. Scorpions were "normal" And now, I live in the Mojave Desert. The HS teams in Farmington are the Scorpions, VAQ-132 at NAS Whidbey Island........Scorpions. Hair Band from Germany.......Winds of Change, Send Me an Angel....... Treat them with respect. The Missus still isn't sure of that...........yet. 1. At least you do remember to take your camera!
