    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.

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.

Great pictures. Been to Sanderson myself once - stayed at the same motel. I think there are only two, so probably not a great surprise!
