Animals on playa this year

[illy dilly]

2011 there was a girl with a small red fox in her hood. Saw her a couple of times in center camp.

I think I might have seen the same gal! But, I thought it was a chinchilla or something similar.

I once took my diabetic cat to Alvord Playa for a geology field trip. She was SO annoyed, not to mention covered with playa dust. She went everywhere with me, because she had to have a shot every day, but trying to keep her in the shade and keep her from going into a diabetic coma was totally stressful for 6 whole years. You can't even count the number of times I had to pour syrup down her throat to revive her when she puked up her breakfast after going over curves or dips. She would sit outside the tent and hang out when we camped. In Death Valley we used to joke about the coyotes eating her (not really funny but you had to be there).

hate to point out the obvious...

For us old people....who remembers the camels races....yes with real camels. I think it was either 2000 or 2001. And how long have I been going?

I thought it was a beaver.

I'll be bringing animals this year, but they will be sliced up and kept in the freezer until it's time to grill them.

Damn it.. I read this thread, browsed around for 20 minutes, thought of this joke and came back to post it.

YES, I DO VISIT THE PLAYA.

An Animal.

alright so who brought the playa goose?!



it flew down on my camp panting and quickly disappeared after people chased it with cameras and water. weirdness!

That's not a goose. It's one of Yaqui, "Man of Knowledge", Don Juan's newer apprentices. The poor newbie still can't quite get down the turning into a crow thing.

[gyre]

"Disappeared" right before the camp next door served that fancy dinner to everyone?

[DrYes]

And there are doggles to be bought at pet stores.

Daaaaamn right.

I wish I could find Fishy's thread on pivotal moments on Eplaya. That is the song, which spawned "Da Mule" in the original bar thread.

[bluesbob]

I bring my seeing-eye frog.

I bring my seeing-eye frog.

Then I get to bring my helper cow..

[TT120]

Due to the recent rains on the Playa, these have been hatching...










Relax, there aren't really any spiders on the Playa.

[Captain Goddammit]

Animals beware...
The Black Rock City Animal Control's mobile unit is down for repairs that won't be completed this year, and the Land Yacht will be pressed into service, rounding up, inoculating, and tagging unleashed animals.

leading by example...



who said something about feathers?

[unjonharley]

The dogs you see around the playa are desert dogs.. They live there year around.. They are also well taken care of.. Most have a truck they ride and nap in..

Larry caught a possum this year on the playa. Camp across the street was packing up, and the little guy was in their stuff, hiding and hissing. Probably had ridden in on the box trucks in the Texas camp. Larry has had possums as pets before, so he knew how to catch it (milkcrates and heavy leather gloves involved). Young one, thin but lively. Larry made a cage from milkcrates ziptied together, put cardboard around it for privacy, and gave it grapes and watermelon. Nice guy from Texas is going to take it back from whence it came, or try to give it to animal control. The real animal control, you fuckos.

Huh. I should have taken a picture, yeah?

[unjonharley]

I saw TX. size cockroach out open playa.. Pick up a grass hopper while mooping..He was in my grabber but I didn't hurt him.. Set him back on the playa..

We caught a bat at the man base Saturday morning. Cute little guy but stressed and weak.

He was released the next day and flew away.

Spotted a little tiny dog with it's owners outside a monster RV set up on the outskirts of town. Flea bag was living it up better than me.

[VultureChow]

There was a dog camped across from me at 3:50 and E

[AntiM]

The grandfathered desert dogs have little laminates on their collars. I saw a tiny black fuzzball sporting his lam. Cute.

[Sic Pup]

Not exactly animal (neither mineral nor vegetable either) but I saw quite a variety and frequency of different insects this year ranging from spiders, to flies, to moths to other unknown crawlies.

I also saw more dogs in the hands of LEOs than I'd care for but, thankfully, only at a distance.

[pink]

I could swear I heard crickets on Thursday night pre gate opening, which was confirmed by the amount of them I picked up while mooping.
