Time for Caution Around Creeks

[Hoser John]

Extreme drought conditions in Calif. have driven the critters to move to the creeks and rivers. As the summer drags on it will only get worse as all water sources fade to dust. NEVER in 58 years a desert/forest grubbing have I seen so many rattlers,bob cats,bear,cougars and every critter be it fang,nail or crawl has moved in. Move slowly and careful as such a concentration has them ALL in a high state of agitation. Ya'all be careful out there-John

108-114 in/around redding but nice'n cool in the water. Air conditioned house,ac truck,pool at home YEP gotta be in the water-any water-this year. Humidity the real killer as exertion dry is pure sweaty misery. Up by 4am done in by noon this too shall pass-keep cool-John

I enjoy your reports on these creeks in the mother load area. It must be a fascinating time to be there even though it sounds dangerous especially because of fire. It's tempting to go back out there since I know more now, but for me would be quite a hassle right now. But tempting and thanks for the advice. James
