Well yesterday was are senior earth science fossil hunting trip and we took a little mini bus up the mountains to go crack rocks by the river and look for fossil leaves and clams. After we got there i got kinda bored with cracking rocks so i decided to go a little ways up from the river bank. as i was waking through the brush and logs i saw a nice garter snake with yellow and red stripes. so i caught him and put him in my backpack. i spent the rest of the day looking for snakes and never found any fossils, but i did catch 2 more snakes and put them in my backpack. on the way home we made a stop for a while to checkout a waterfall and i left my bag on the buss. when i got back on my friend said i left the bag open a bit and one was going into the vent when he got on but he could not get it. so after looking in my bag he was right, only two. we were driving for about 15 min when my other friend in the front of the bus said it was coming out next to my teacher who was driving! so i went to the front to "spit my gum out" and see where the snake was. it was crawing right next to my teachers feet and proceded crawl over his foot on the gas pedal. he asked me what i was doing and i politely told him there was a snake on his foot. to make a long story short, he did not freak and we pulled off the road and i let the snake go. the other two i let go in the field by my house when i got home. and my hands smelled like musk and they pooped and threw up a worm in my bag! what a day!
