On the drive back from Texas I pondered how funny it is when my friends and family warn me about being careful amongst Montana’s bears, wolves, and lions.
I created a list of beasts I encountered down south that I would much rather have not.
1. Alligators.
2. Poisonous snakes.
3. Alligator gar
4. Scorpions
5. Tarantulas
6. Bird-sized mosquitos
7. Leprosy-carrying Armadillo
Super glad to be back in MT.
