Land Between the Lakes

A couple weekends ago, I camped out at Land Between the Lakes with some friends for a weekend of herping. We found several species of snakes and salamanders over the weekend, including the Eastern Hognose Snake. While there, I also took the time to go for a drive through the Elk and Bison Prairie. I didn’t take as many photos as I should have, but i did get a few that I am happy with.
