Yeah, AZ doesn't play around when the monsoon gets real. A lot of peeps think it's just the rains/flash floods, but that lightning is legit during the monsoon. 12:40 looks like a MX Spadefoot to me. Some nice finds.
Yeah we definitely learned that the hard way later in the trip. Thanks for the ID with the toad, I’m terrible with amphibians I mainly just focus on the snakes and lizards
@@surfingwithsnakes Been there with the monsoon. Stuck in lightning storms, stuck in washes with water coming, stuck between washes with rivers flowing. Pretty intense for sure.
@@smetlogik yeah I totally get that, we got caught on the side of the mountain on a dirt road. Never seen it rain that hard before, there was lightning, hail and it was coming down so hard we could barely see 15ft in front of us. We had to stop the car a few times and wait till we could see again. Luckily we made it out okay and the wash at the bottom wasn’t too flooded to get through but man was it scary
Ooh, very cool caterpillar!
Nice photos at the end!

@@surfingwithsnakes Yep, and it seems to come out of nowhere in an instant. I've learned when I feel the first raindrop, RUN.🏃
@@smetlogik yep we were headed up the mountain and I heard thunder and said we should turn around and less than 5 minutes later it was pouring rain
Amazing that you seen that tiny snake via driving 😂Me, I’m always stopping for blue racers, that end up being sticks😂
Tommy boy 💯
just curious if F&G searched your vehicle
Yeah they did search us, they were stopping everyone that night
@@surfingwithsnakes Glad I got my willardi, pricei, gilas and klauberi in the 70's when it was legal
