But them you went the wrong way and still got lost. You should have called John, I think he made those roads back in the 40s. :lol: Hey Mike,...

Well, like I said, if you head east to the Sierras you will certainly find some there this time of year. I frequently see them when hiking along trails and I saw some not this past weekend but the weekend before flipping in the morning. They're biters too.
