I had a feeling it was coming to this..... That big blue trouble maker is going to sink at sea or burn while moored at it's home port in San Felipe very soon. Just yesterday I was talking to a guy with a boat from San Felipe while getting my fuel tank drained of water and gas. He has a nice...

"so sluggish and slow of movement"............. That is from the mouth of a man that obviously never has seen one fresh, hot and feisty right off of the summertime desert floor. FACTS: Gila Monsters can run faster than most people. Gila Monsters can lunge and strike faster than most people...

Nice little Monster! Did I ever tell the tale of my Monster bite? Got me of all places on my left arm biceps muscle. I believe that your area of AZ has more Helodermas than the lower zones that most people usually associate them with. Gila Monsters kinda go with Saguaros, WRONG! The...

Sweet spot Jerry......... Do you have many Gila Monsters there? What is the range on the horizon? JJ

Hey Kite................ Actually the California Fan palm is your best choice. It is a native to super saline conditions such as the alkaline seeps and springs along the San Andreas Fault in the Coachella Valley and the seeps in the Borrego Springs area in Southern California. It grows quite...

Hey Audi............... The close-in action along La Cholla is at two spots. The first is the reef that runs almost two miles northwest from the lighthouse. What I did was start a zig-zag beginning where you see the rocks at the point then make successive runs farther out marking the reef...

Also............ The White Lined Sphinx caterpillar is available in two flavors, lime green and flat black with a variety of stripes and sprinkles in between. This is an adaptation that allows the youngster to survive in the cold winter months or the hot months of late spring into early summer...

Hey Horse...... They are the larvae of the White Lined Sphinx Moth. Their preferred food is the Sand Dune Primrose and the Sand Verbena. When they eat themselves out of house and home they go into a migration mode searching for greener pastures. You might notice them being followed by a large...

DEAD SNAKES....... Do not EVER assume that a "dead" snake is actually dead. A freshly killed rattler even with it's head removed will strike with precision when touched anywhere on it's body. Many fools and lots of stupid drunks have been bitten by rattlers that have been seriously bashed up...

That's a damned fine pair of baby Coon Tails........... The Western Diamond Rattlesnake is the largest, boldest and has the most potent venom of our southwestern desert rattlers. An average adult is around five and a half feet long with some records of over seven feet. It is the only local...

Hey Mark...... I kinda like your writing style, let's hear some more! As far as I know the RP cops don't give a shit about outdated AZ plates, unless you cause an accident. I know dozens of Gringos that have beaters down there that never get them updated. Also, you can cut the doors, roof...

Never found out.... Since then I have hardly ever let anyone in my home or on my property, way too much to look at and way too many jealous do-gooders out there that will rat out anyone in a heartbeat. I have since built up my collection way beyond those days. I have a Pinacate ram skull with...

Yo Jerry.......... Ten bucks a night!! That IS a deal. Do they loan you an AK-47 and a Glock or two with mucho ammo just in case Senior Escobar's chicken sheet wanna-bees decide to do a little night time training? I just read about that pozo in Sheldon's "The Wilderness of the Southwest"...

Those are gonna look nice on a wall somewhere, covered with dust, Daddy Long Leg webs, gettin chewed up by Firebrats and Dermestid Beetle grubs and finally tossed into the Goodwill bin by family members who are totally clueless as to what they meant to those guys. So Jerry, I'll tell ya a crazy...

All you have to do is look at the water...... If the seawater where you are collecting the bivalves is clear then they should be good. The Red Tide poison in only in the gut of those filter feeders and they suck in, digest and spit out that stuff fast. If you collect them yourself be careful...

Hey Roberto.......... I found my copy online, a used library copy that had never been checked out for $4.19! Do a little search and you will see them all the way up to $375.00. Thanks for the offer on the "New Trails in Mexico" Lumholtz map but I already have one in my 1912 first edition...

Maybe they were El Golfo pangueros on a working vacation en de Irak sharing fishing techniques with the Tigris and Euphrates gill net cartel. Anyway, is there any current source for us to know if krap like this is still in effect? I'm planning on hauling my boat down at the end of the month for...

Suicidal............ That is the area we talked about a few days ago, the private hunting grounds and secret dope launching coves for Los Sicaros de Sonora. Now more dangerous than ever with the Sonora turf wars in full bloom and El Chapo incarcerated. I'm working on a fabulous read as I...

Yo Jerry.......... Nice photo of La Lagunita! Ever catch any clams there? Ten years ago there was a shrimp boat run aground there on the other side kinda midway in yer photo, not a trace of it anymore. Back then you could drive a Jeep through the mouth of the lagoon at low tide, no mas. Last...

Back to the Coco Palm issue........ PP is way too hot, way too cold and way too dry for Coco Palms as they are tropical plants. The biggest issue when attempting to grow anything close to the beach in PP is SALT. Most desert plants just can't take it, a few just love it and some can put up...
