August 1st- Ponk

Look, writing these things blows so here's what we saw on an unplanned, hot day trip to Ponk...

A small (vernal?) pond with frogs and these (Green frog?) tadpoles

I had to content myself wiping my brow with them...

I finally nabbed a few, like this lovely ringneck

So yeah, we saw and caught some snakes and frogs and then took an incomplete dip in the cool Pond. We shall go back and do this again... soon!

  1. Ponk has become my favorite place to go. Hiking all the way around the pond isn't as exhausting as I thought it would be -- it's only 4 miles, right? The nice dip in the pond is a great reward for it too.
