This was a third time at Caples. Obviously a favorite because it was close to the highway, yet still felt secluded. It had great fishing (before I was vegan!) and just usually no one around. 

So Jon was petting a lizard and Senna saw it and nipped it with her mouth (didn't puncture him) but he got scared and froze. So I started crying and got mad at Jon.
