1 Garter
1 Slimy Salamander
Driving home today from work I did a quick stop at a small place I wanted to check out.

Flipped a few rocks and found a Garter but had no camera so I left and figured I would go borrow one and go back real quick.

Stopped by my Daughters grandparents house and borrowed a camera and Tom my Daughters granddad came back with me to do some flipping.

We found the Garter still under the same rock.
