On the final day it hit the low 70s. I once again teamed up with the Vanderpoel brothers. We visited a few places in the area. Our first stop was a quest for Zigzag Salamanders, which would be a lifer for all of us. We didn't find our lifers, but did get a couple of nice Cave Salamanders.

And a couple of baby Water Snakes too.

Five-lined Skink.

Grasshopper.

The Vanderpoels wanted to try for another lifer that I have had a long familiarity with.

Mission accomplished - Spotted Salamander.

Eventually we made it back onto Snake Road and saw this tiny Eastern Fence Lizard.

I have not seen a Broadhead Skink in several years and have never seen one on Snake Road, so this was a cool find.

It was only fitting that the trip ended the way it began - with a Western Cottonmouth.

See you next year, Snake Road!
