My first experience with road runners was at Fort Polk in 1971. I couldn't believe a bird could run so fast. They were fun to watch.Awesome birds. We have a couple that live in the tree in our yard. It’s very cool to sit on the patio and see them working to build the nest together and watching them run down prey. They’re amazing hunters. They also kill snakes and I suspect that’s why I haven’t had any rattlesnakes in my yard.

Mrs. Google says, "The Greater Roadrunner is a common species in the desert and brush country of the Southwest, but its full range reaches from California to western Louisiana."I didn’t realize they got that far east.
Just take a black light out at night. You'll find them!I'll never find a scorpion in an old mine shaft at night...or day. 'Cause I ain't going in an old mine shaft. No telling what kind of critters are in there.
That’s about how big this one was.Biggest one I've seen in Arizona 👀

Think I got lucky. Pulled the air filter, disconnected the battery and then pulled the spark plugs and turned it over. Shot water out like a fire hydrant for the first couple turns. Got it all blown out, reinstalled plugs and it fired up instantly so I’m pretty sure I have good compression still and it should be GTG.
Aw hell no. I'll walk.Was in Phoenix yesterday and we used a Waymo to get to a different brewery. It’s a ride share like Uber but completely autonomous. Was a little nerve wracking at first but it drove very well. They only operate in Phoenix and San Francisco right now but expanding to more cities soon

Thanks, have some really good ones of the desert out there, we’ve had a lot of rain lately and it’s very green. Some pictures are having issues uploading for whatever reason.Great Pics!!!!!
For the most part as long as I’m on BLM land, and that’s where I do 90% of my desert activities anyway , then yes. Find a spot that’s safe to shoot at and go nuts. There are also some dedicated ranges you can use too, and sometimes I go to one of those because they have real benches that are covered and steel out to 600yds. The one I go to is all free and no RSO regulating it either.So I have a question.
Are you able to go shooting wherever you want in the middle of the desert, or are there “ranges” where you have to do all your shooting at?
He did look a little different that the other Western Diamondbacks we saw, so I was wondering if he was different species.This one looks like a Mohave Green.View attachment 763836
