@@lambdamodsdev8647 don't worry, there'll be more streams. I only made it past the big dude with flamethrower/energy weapon arms. I also had to go on mute for a while cause my sis called and she didn't want to be on a live stream. 😄 It was honestly probably better without my dumbass commentary. 🤣
After all these years, a recent comment notification actually came through and I realized there were other comments from the recent past. After a little research, I've come to the conclusion that it's a western patch-nosed snake.
No problem! I'm always happy to know I can help others, even if it's something as minor as this. It was about the second week of October when I was there and the remnants of Hurricane Nate had just passed by the day before, so at the time there were tons of streams to rehydrate at. Even if there aren't many streams, Deep Creek itself wasn't far from this site. I hope you have an epic adventure! Enjoy! 🍻
Looks like camp 55 was nice? I'm trying to decide between 55 and 54. I read 54 wasn't so good. This too will be my "first backpacking adventure and a solo one at that". I hope there are hammock friendly trees there!! Thanks for the video.
Sorry for the delayed response. RU-vid didn't give me a notification. Campsite 55 was pretty great! Deep Creek was only a few hundred feet from this site which made for a convenient water source which I believe should be year round. If you don't over pack like I did and don't go with a cheap Amazon pack, you shouldn't have a problem. It's a beautiful trail! I was planning on going from campsite 55 up to Newton Bald for the second night, but scrapped those plans and just did a day hike up to Newton Bald which I'd highly recommend.
With that in mind, just imagine what a T-Rex could do with its tiny arms! Sorry, but it seemed like an amusing response in my currently booting up, morning brain.
Let's be honest, this snake is pseudo random due to you can predict its appearing by analysis of environment, ground, species diversity and time of day at this places. If we want to achieve a real randomness in snake choosing we should take one snake of each kind, put them in different boxes and make a lock based on radioactive decay. The first box will open when unstable atomic nucleus in its lock will decay. At this moment we will get the first real random snake. After that we should put a snake back in its box, put a new unstable nucleus and wait the next radioactive decay to get the second real random snake. Summing up, the name of this video is misleading us about its content. I think we should inform RU-vid moderation about this nonsense.
If memory serves me right, I had originally titled this video "Rat Snake Digging a Burrow", and people had a cow that I incorrectly identified the snake. At the time of changing the title didn't have time to accurately ID it, so I just said "random" to appease the wannabe know-it-alls whom I assume also couldn't ID it off the top of their heads. Upon doing a little digging, no pun intended, it seems to most closely resemble a western patch-nosed snake with a slight variation in color. So there you have it, it's no longer a rando. I'll still leave the title just to trigger some folks, just as I'm sure my ID will trigger someone.
If you take Seven Springs rd to the junction with Bloody Basin rd and head east from there, it does take you to the Verde River which is I believe where Sheepsbridge is.
