Location: Cincinnati Nature Center, Rowe Woods directions

In April 2008, Dean Alessandrini and son Nick visited SW California and spent several days and nights combing the deserts for herps. Herp highlights included chuckwallas, a red diamondback rattlesnake, and the never-ending quest for the lightning fast "red racer" Besides herps, the trip ending up including 3 stops by police (one with a full car search and some very serious and disturbing accusations), and a very "interesting" trip to Venice beach. Dean and Nick will share their experiences and stories during the August meeting.
