Isn't that a good enough reason? Any excuse will do! Actually that was just the beginning of the adventure. After visiting the eastern side of the Sierra del Nido I continued south to a very beautiful area just north of Cumbres de Majalca, took down the fence, went in, hid for a few days, then again fled with cowboys on my tail. Then I went around to the western side to the remote and wonderful Rancho Sierra del Nidoand had many adventures with inbred Mennonites, then headed up the mountain to join a group of Mexican biologists looking for the last Mexican wolf.

You mean you drove all that way for one snake and a couple of lizards? ;-) From: bmorgan...@aol.com [mailto:bmorgan...@aol.com] Despite it being a summer day it was cold as hell up there. There seemed to be no chance of finding any snakes, but when I complained an ancient cowboy looked around and pointed at a pine tree. There to my amazement was a little twin spotted rattlesnake (Crotalus pricei) climbing straight up the tree caterpillar style. There were also a few cold numbed alligator lizards. Clouds closed in and we were nearly out of beer so it was time to depart.
