Amazing places with very easy access if you ever get to the Cascade Mountains in Oregon
Some of the cleanest water on Earth...The water has been creeping thru underground natural filters for 20 years until it pops out and fuels these spots...Clear lake is above all three of these locations

Clear Lake

Water is just above freezing all year round and it has underwater forest that is frozen in time due to the water conditions...that tree was flooded out 3000 years ago and not going anywhere due to the water temp...you can boat or scuba on the lake, small campgrounds also...5 mile hike around it

Keeping Social Distance (From Wildlife)

Six feet of social distance may be the new norm between people, but a new WCS report says if you don’t want to disturb wildlife, you need to keep waaaaaaay back.

Good episode
I try to dive like I am spearfishing in Hawaii the same areas they most likely were...I wasn't very good down there, no skills...My lady can dive really well, was going down 20 feet and shit...saw a local guy dive in and spear a huge octopus in two minutes and drive off

Saw this on Instagram. Seven different invasive lizards caught in one day (in Homestead, FL).

How many can you identify? Non-Floridians only to make it fair.

Why does Florida have so many invasive lizards?

Subtropical climate in which the temperature almost never drops below 40° in the southernmost counties, a lack of natural predators, irresponsible owners who let their pets go, and irresponsible vendors who know that releasing a population of lizards to breed and then recapturing future generations is cheaper and easier than breeding the lizards themselves.

Anything that lives along the equator - sometimes even further away from it than we are - has invasive potential if released. The origin countries/regions for the lizards in that photo alone are (from top to bottom): Madagascar, South America, Central America, western Africa, Cuba, the Amazon, and southeast Asia.

Interesting. Are they pinching out the native lizards?

In certain areas perhaps but not that I've seen overall. Cuban tree frogs and Burmese pythons are a lot more "effective" in that regard.

So, I came a cunt hair away from stepping on a cottonmouth today down on the bank of the San Gabriel River, right next to a small damn that controls flow near a riverside residential area. No pics, but I did almost piss my pants a little. I was mid stride, and if I had put my foot down I would have got him (and probably got bit). Saw a bunch of turtles too, and two Great Blue Herons.
