Ants Marching
This weekend Rian must go camping again. Albeit without little people. Which may make Adventuring easier.
Dave is playing at the Gorge. The Gorge is roughly three hours into the desert from Rian's Abode. Dave's concerts are usually...how shall we say?...full of sweet scented smoke. No wise creature would drive home several hours muzzy headed and in the desert dark. That way lies a prettily decorated cross beside 395.
So. Someone Else and Rian and a few aquaintances have a camp site reserved in the scrubby hills. We shall hope the tent stays upright, as last time Rian Adventured suchly a compatriot collapsed atop Rian's tent and slept the night away.
Tis not the revelers that worry Rian. Tis the rattlers.
If the bugs love to bite Rian in the forest, surely the rattlers will love to bite Rian in the desert?
I shall have to bring my whacking stick. Or Sam Jackson.

There is desert that close to Rian's abode?
I heard that, uh, hitting sticks together before you go to sleep keeps snakes away.
Oh, dear. So Rian needs TWO whacking sticks?
Or is Mater trying to make Rian look like a fool before bed?
Eh..and..yes. Technically Rian lives in a desert.
Make a fake straw Rian and sit it outside your tent. Don't forget to place a cup of chai in its lap. That'll fool 'em.
I should think one whacking stick and one Sam Jackson should suffice. You can always hit Sam with the stick if necessary. That should elicit plenty of noise to keep the snakes at bay.
Hee, snakes keep away if you make plenty of noise, truly. I grew up in the Australian bush which is teeming with poisonous critters, and I'm still here to tell the tale.
Make lots of noise, particularly vibrations on the ground, and snakes will panic and slither away all unnoticed.
Of course, the noisemaking could be entertaining, too...?
Do the bears bite Rian in the woods?
Only when there is no creature there to hear it.
