    Thanks for all the Halloween suggestions guys and gals. Now all I have to do is find a couple of raccoons, snakes, and spiders to put around the hammock with the skeleton inside for next week. I think I'll call it -----A Bad Hanging!

    BTW, if you want to keep snakes away, use Snake-Away, which is naphthalene (moth balls).

    Hehe, i could have find some use of that when i was i Thailand
    Seriously, i might buy that for my next trip.
    Down there i dreamed (truly dreamt while sleeping) of a stamper ,
    the thing they used to attract worms in the book Dune .

    Think of it as a battery powered thing that stamps,
    to copy human walking.

    This idea is probably my ticket to fame and fortune

    And moth balls are about 25% the cost of the Snake Away ... and it works! You want it granulated ... put the balls in a cloth sack and take a hammer to them! Of course your campsite now smells like your grannie's clothes closet!

    I recently saw a news item on TV about an elderly woman being attacked, at her home, by a gang of marauding racoons. No, really, I'm serious. Any one else see that? They tore her up pretty bad.

    about snakes... I camp where there's lots of them, the only thing I've ever worried about is having one take up residence on the ground under me as I sleep. Never had it actually happen but I've "heard" of other's finding a snake under them (on the ground) when they got up. I shine my flashlight on the ground before I put my feet out.
    For the first time that I have ever noticed, something brushed up under my hammock at Neo's TN get together last weekend. I didn't look, or even respond, don't have a clue what it was.

    Is that your way of calling that pretty little wife of yours batty?

    P.S. Can't believe I said "4-legged" by mistake. Well, yes I can! LOL Sorry 'bout that. Thanks for the catch, Hooch!
