Notes
Found under Tarp
Found with Brian Hubbs
Interesting Story here.. Hubbs and I found the king in the first photo (see photo)thats the only king we counted and saw under the tarp and what we were photoing..
Than today when going to record this find, I saw something in the picture that didn't look right, (another king hanging from the trap that is being lifted.) (WE NEVER SAW THAT KING during that time..)
The most Ironic part is we are both pretty arrogant in our presumed kingsnake hunting abilities (Legends in our own minds, basicly), and we BOTH know to look in the folds of things if there, yet neither of us did on this tarp. And I find it extremely funny that we missed it (good thing it wasn't an Albino or something Doh... )

I easily would have missed it too. I think that little king would have distracted me because it looks so nice.
Part of the problem was we were in a rush... We got there so late and had so much to hit..
lol Thats funny. And that snake is as plain as day in the photo.
That's great! Lol
