I'm planning a trip down to Monument Valley in late April to early May. I may camp out if the weather's suitable, but not to sure what kinda critters you got down your way. If I sleep on the ground will I wake up with additional friends in my sleeping bag? Mostly concerned with anything that may be venomous. What precautions if any do you take? Thx.

 

I'm not sure but, I think my ex lives in NC.

 

I've not been to Monument Valley, but our desert has scorpions, rattlesnakes, recluse spiders, black widows. I wouldn't just want a sleeping bag on the ground. I'd at least want a closed tent with a built in floor. And shake out your shoes before you put them back on!!

 

And watch out for Indians they're everywhere!

 

Yep, there's some at Chester's HD.

I still like my HD better.

 

If you drink enough sleepin' on the ground is no problemo.

 

I think I forgot to mention coyotes, javelina.

 

Don't forget the gila monsters.

 

hey.....I've been there before

 

Good advice, thanks.
