While out geocaching with my buddy, Carnivorous Hippy, came across this little guy behind a rock. Sorry about the quality of the photo...camera hasn't been the same since taking a dive into the Willamette River.
I had no idea there were scorpions in Western Oregon! I called my friend, a zoologist at OSU, and he laughed at me for being so clueless.
Guess I'll be more care about sticking my hands benihd rocks without looking!
Right after I finished college, I took off with a friend. We headed to Arizona, driving from Oregon in an old Toyota Corolla with no air conditioning. We went to Phoenix to hang with other college buddies. We drank and smoked a lot of stuff while there...
But, one of my best memories? Opening the microwave and finding a HUGE cockroach and a HUGE scorpion inside! What were the chances???

You did it! You got the Hippster to post.
I also went with a friend after graduation and after a year of employment, to Arizona, but we went to the Grand Canyon and rode mules; then went to Lake Havasu to see the London Bridge. Since Lake Havasu is an artificial town, with an artificial lake, there were no bugs. On the road, we did see a roadrunner running. On the way we crossed Death Valley, CA in a Black VW bug with no air conditioning.
Great story, Vita! Now, we must sit together and sip wine (or whiskey) to share more stories!
