We simply relaxed on our last day before heading home. We spent a little time talking to Roy and waited for the day to unwind. A large storm made its way into Sanderson before dark and it forced us to go east for the evening. We packed up the truck and made our way out to Palma Draw and Lozier Canyon.
Sanderson, after a bit of rain
East Sanderson
Being followed by some wicked weather
We walked for a few hours, finding one juvenile trans-pecos ratsnake (
Bogertophis s. subocularis) crawling along a cut before 11:00 pm. With the approaching rains we turned our attention towards west of Langtry. We arrived there before the storm and walked cuts for a few more hours. Conditions seemed perfect but see didn’t see anything else for the remainder of the night. We arrived at the hotel before 3:00 in the morning.

We got up early, packed and made the long trek back to Houston. As usual, we had a good time, found some nice animals and enjoyed visiting with our friends who are as passionate about West Texas as we are. A special thanks to Roy and his wife for nicely accommodating us and for always making our stay in Sanderson pleasant. And also to my buddy Colby for taking most of the pictures during this trip.
