Snakes I don't worry about too much; You make enuff noise & Mr. Snake will generally do his best to put real estate between you 'n' him. Wasps 'n' hornets, Yellow Jackets, OTOH....And that whole place just looked REAL "Waspery" to me...

Snakes yes, but generally they're king snakes. A few rattlesnakes, but usually they're more out in the sun, not hiding in a shady place. But you forgot about black widow spiders... I saw plenty of those in that place! Wasps & hornets will turn up around August. At that particular place, there are aggressive billygoats. Watch your rear!

You should have at least saved that convergence board. Those pots are getting harder to find as is suggested/wanted in another thread.

I'd doubt that those pots would be any good after being exposed to the weather. About the only parts that might still be worth stealing would be the small tubes...

I thought about that, but they had been exposed to the weather and dirt for so long, that I'd be shocked if any of them were any good. Probably work fine until you go to turn them ... As for the small tubes, it's a political thing. I think the offer was to take the whole set, or nothing. I guess in that particular case, it might have been rude to pick it over.
