Yeah - there are a lot of snakes out there - I often think about it because every night I cruise I find dead snakes - which generally means there are DOR snakes every single night most likely - still unfortunate though - looks like some nice looking gophers up there, too - hope to visit Mono for the first time in 2015!!
Debbie lives up there so she finds a lot of DOR's. There are a lot of gophers, so odds are good...or bad that when you see anything, it's a DOR gopher....especially on the 395 or 6. Lots of traffic.
All of your records are so cool but it sure seems like a bad road in Mono somewhere for gophers to be crossing - a lot of DORs between you and Debbie House - that sucks!
