RE: "I'm happy even when centipedes bite me, that's the truth"
What an amazing looking place for a camping adventure!! It looks really wild and untouched which is fantastic for the kiddo's!
Can't say I am a fan of snakes, but that one actually had really beautiful markings. Still wouldn't touch it though hahahaha!!!
We went camping recently too - completely different scenery and vibe, but it was still amazing to just get away and to "be still". Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Uinta :)
This is a pretty small garter snake. They are about as harmless as snakes can be, supposedly they could give you a tiny bite and maybe even break the skin, but I have picked up literally hundreds of garter snakes and never even been struck at.
Yeah this local variety that frequents the stream banks has really striking markings. The garter snakes we had back in Oregon had a very pungent musk they would squirt on you if you handled them, but either these Utah garter snakes don't spray musk, or maybe their musk is just not very strong.
What kind of camping spot did you have? South Africa, right? Or am I totally misremembering :)
Harmless or not, I am still an eEeeEeeek girl when it comes to them haha :) - but like I said, admittedly very pretty and hats off to your wife for getting up close and personal lol.
Yip, Cape Town, South Africa. :) So, no alzheimers for you just yet haha! The last camp session we had was not at all like yours... was a much more "commercialised" spot... you know with Jamaican style bars, swimming pools, zip lining and all that stuff.. but it was still loads of fun... however, having said that - I would love to do a camp like yours when Summer arrives!
