Interesting thing we saw happen boating.

We had what I think was Prairie rattler in our camp last trip to Lake Powell. It was a first time for us and I've been going to that lake for over 20 yrs. He was about 4 feet long and had very subdued markings. The only definite marking was a single black band right before the rattlers on the tail. I need to download the pictures of him off the camera so I can share.

We were thankful that the dog's or kids didn't find him unexpectedly. He was about 15ft from the boat and our kids when my daughter noticed him on shore.

We let him go his way and I kept tabs on him as we were in the middle of packing up camp. A little unnerving but kind of cool to see up close.

Cheers,
Toby

This is probably the biggest concern I have while camping with the kids. You just never know.

This thread made me remember a photo I saw awhile back. I think this boat was on Lake Texoma...

If it were mine it would have a for sale sign on it!

This reminds me of the pit in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Me too, if that were my boat it would be doused with gasoline and lit on fire.
