I live waaaaaaaaaaay out in the country The movie Oklahoma was filmed in this area Canelo Pass horse crossing A highway detour :)

I simply disagree, a lot, that the 426 hemi (solid lifter that pulled hard to 7K) acted like a small block off the line, if anything, just the opposite, 426hemis were known for their "gobs" of torque...this is from experiential knowledge of driving a '69 hemi rr, 833. The '69 GTX I have now has...

Huh???

Slow down friend, I go back to the muscle car era, my innocent days before Vietnam. I served in a high Agent Orange spray area, in 2023, three of us Vietnam vets who served in AO spray areas were diagnosed with aggressive mouth cancer during a 6-week time period, one of us did not survive. Of my...

I've thought the same as you, wild critters tend to look up/around during their grazing, perhaps they see things domestic animals don't pick up on. But, given the height of range grass, it's very difficult to see what's close by. I have pictures of a Mojave coiled in a tall clump of range grass...

This is a great question, I can only share with what I know. A few summers ago, I know of four horses that were bit while grazing, and all four received veterinarian care as quickly as possible. I don't know the treatments they received, but after about 10 days to two weeks, all four died...

Not a scorpion, "only" a neurotoxic Mojave rattler bite, from behind while in town no less.

I don't know what the high was in Tucson this afternoon, but it was 102F when we left at noon. We will be in the high 90s this week at 4300ft, high desert. :)
