grasshopper Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 1 hour ago, Ceptorman said: Scared the crap outta me and I'm 2300 miles away! They are startlingly big. Very mellow.They behave like a cow. They don't get angry/defensive w/o a lot of provoking. Just plod along. There are other things more worthy of concern... scorpions, centipedes, rattlesnakes Don't know if there are SunSpiders there.... Those give me the creeps. Not venomous. Won't say they can't bite the crap out of ya 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't experienced temperatures anywhere near that since my 2008 adventure in Saudi Arabia. I was not permitted to wear shorts, and wished I had brought my grandfather's thobe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
