(He had de-fanged it but I didn't know it at the time)

Many years ago, after work, I was walking towards my motorcycle when I noticed a good sized rattler coiled up in the shade, under the bike. I grabbed a handful of rocks and started throwing them at the snake, hoping to scare it off, but the varmint was completely unimpressed. As I went looking for a nice long stick, I remembered that one of my co-workers had told me that morning how he had shot a snake over the weekend and had it in the trunk of his car....(*&%$@#$^&!

When I was in Florida we went camping at a "Resort" Took our tent and setup our site, no one around us.
Next morning we were surrounded by RVs. How we didn't hear them or get ran over is beyond me.
We didn't stay for the next night..
I would not go camping again in Florida, too many alligators in the wild that do not understand personal space.
"The horses were nice, I could not talk my ex into going for a ride so we just walked some trails and went home"

The windy side of Bullhead Mtn. BC. the view due West to Mt. Gething, the flat top in the distance, 20km, 12.5 miles.
Gething Mountain B.C.
The left end of the tee shaped lake is the Bennett Dam, top of the Peace River.
The lake zig-zags west 80 miles through the Rocky Mountain Range, then, another 80 miles north west running parallel.
The southern arm runs 70 miles south east to Mackenzie, and the Parsnip River.
A man could spend a lifetime exploring the lake, time well spent, called to the wild.
Climb to the ridge of Mt. Crysdale, camping, pondering the view of the Galaxy above.
The Galaxy
Imagining that we are alone in the Universe, dismisses all of human history, experience and belief.
Darryl, that was the name of a sitcom's character on tv, which I have never seen, but have read about, decades ago.
Trekking through the winter snows to find tracks that appear human like, but far too large.
Hmmmn.
Looks around, a feeling of being watched, like a hunter, hunting.

you are alluding to Larry's brother Daryll.
(or maybe his other brother Daryll.. evidently, a Vermont thing)

I didn't go looking for this. YouTube chose it for me. Other than Lake Okanagan, I never knew the lakes in my home province were so mysterious.

Okanagan,
the healthy fresh produce of diligent farm communes crafting their strains for pleasant dreams, since the '60s, yeah man.
The Trip
So, somewhere out there in BC, is the red Dino, still with the keys in the boot.
Rock Creek
Chong regals the history
Class... Class... Class... Class...
My introduction to the comedy duo that made culture a comedy, and funny, more funner.
There was this time in '70...
Man, I should write a script, so far out there, hard to believe it's true.
Never did see Ogopogo.
