Here are some pics from the trip to Pontotoc Ridge this past weekend. It was a lot of fun.

There were also many armadillos and TONS of deer. We probably saw between 20 and 30 deer just running around in the fields. The roads around the outside of the preserve are crawling with copperheads, so if anyone is interested in those, this is definitely the place to find them.
