Roger Repp's Puerco Mountains Report

Howdy Herpers,

First off, I'd like to welcome my friends Urs from Switzerland, Freek from Holland, and Adrian from Mexico. Yup--we're going international with the Puerco reports now. (Grin) I'll still try to remember all you "little people" in my life.

Howdy Herpers,

I thought I'd better include this part of my Puerco Mountains Report, because, really, it's the first part. I wrote this in November 2004, and sent it out to the Tucson Herp Society email list. It describes the day I popped the cherry of the Puerco Mountains.

Howdy Again Herpers,

Let's see, you were left hanging with a rather mundane herp report of the coming and going of about ten rattlesnakes. Ho hum.

Howdy Herpers,

I wanted to give a special snow day greeting to my Chicago friends and family. How I wish that I could share in your frigid rapture. At least I wouldn't be suffering from sunburn!

Enough harassing the hapless...
