Given the remote location, I suspect it wasn't meant for humans… Something out there wants either rattlesnakes or prairie dogs to fill the void of dominant intelligence that humans have apparently vacated. |

Oberlindes Sol LIC, It is because we are capable of being violent dangerous apes, that we survived and evolved to this level, at all. We are the advanced life form. LOL |
