Gee, Mike, an interesting (?) possibility, but I’m gonna have to pass. Not
something real high on my bucket list! -sheri

Well geeze, you are closer than the rest of us. You can drive it in a few
hours, have some interesting fun and then drive back with some interesting
things to tell. Wow, pass up the opportunity and have to wait another year?
Okay if you have better things to do, go ahead.

Today is the start of the Annual Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup at the Nolan
County Coliseum. It's a neat event to attend. You can watch snakes being
milked and see the hundreds or thousands of snakes in the snake pit. You can
buy snake skins for use as hat bands, belts, neck ties, etc. They will even
take you on a snake hunt and show you how it's done. They use gasoline in a
sprayer to spray into the snake dens where the snakes come slithering out.
They are then grabbed with a hook on the end of a golf stick and placed into
a gunny sack. They are then brought back to the coliseum where they are
dumped into the snake pit. Watching guys jump into the pit and seeing snakes
strike at them is quite the sight. The roundup lasts through Sunday, so it
could be a short adventure to attend.
I was there two years in a row thanks to Uncle Sam in 1967 & 1968. I was
stationed in Sweetwater as a radar operator then.
