Travel Challenge June 2008
For this month’s travel challenge we have a “Mystery Photo” for you to decipher.

(Click photo for larger version.)
Instructions: The challenge is to identify the animal. When you think you have figured it out, enter your guess in the comment field below. Please be as specific as possible. Be sure to check back next week to see if you were right. Good luck!
The photo has not been doctored; it is the glorious combination of two things, my lack of ability as a photographer and the subjects’ stubborn refusal to be photographed. Happy guessing!

Hi Erin and Lance! I think it’s a coast garter snake hiding in there (thanks Google!). I hope you’re both doing well and having a great time in Oregon.
Hmm…if not a snake maybe a frog or a toad
Red-spotted garter snake. Hope you two are having fun. Enjoy some cool weather for me!
[...] A great big thanks to everyone who submitted a guess to this month’s Travel Challenge. [...]
