Related: About this forumWent in search of after-the-rain mushrooms today.
Didn't find any mushrooms, but I did find some lingering color.
Some puddles.
A little bit of fallen everything.
And some holes.

All very nice.

(19,459 posts)We used to go mushroom hunting on the flats/plateau around the station after a rain. An old Italian gentleman showed my dad which ones were safe.
Found lots of arrowheads around there, too.
And rattlesnakes. More than a few.

(19,459 posts)Generally between about 12"-18". They often had a kind of pinkish cast to them.
I admit I picked up any arrowheads or scrapers I found. Old bottles too, from a homestead that used to be on the property.

(19,459 posts)We used to just drive down there.
There was an old cabin out by the front barbed wire fence, by the las Posadas road. Long since gone.

(3,595 posts)It was about 15 years ago and the article was in the N.J. papers.
N.J. has only a few Timber Rattlesnakes and they are endangered. Idiot was walking in the hills by the Delaware Water Gap and he encountered one. Problem was, the snake wasn't in the proper light to take a good photo.
So, our hero reached out to "adjust" the snake. He ended up in hospital and with a fine of $2,500. for tampering with an endangered species.
I let the rattlers adjust themselves.
