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.
