*This video looks much better when viewed in high quality* My girlfriend, her mom, and I took a trip up to Little Nashville, Indiana on March 31, 2008. We stopped off at Brown County State Park on the way home. My girlfriend and I decided to take a hike through the woods, and we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into! It was fun, but the walk sucked! The music was created by me, with MAGIX Music Maker 12 Deluxe. intro music by Jason Shaw youtube.com audionautix.com

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is trying to preserve a rare, endangered rattlesnake. But many visitors to Brown County don't realize the state's unofficial outdoor capitol is home to a poisonous, lethal viper -- and a local family just found out the hard way.

Field Herping at Brown County State Park. April 25 2009. My fiancee and I decided to take advantage of the awesome weather and went to Brown County state park in southern Indiana to have a picnic, and walk the trails. We normally drive to the nature center, and walk alone trail 6 the goes around Strahl Lake. We encountered several toad that were very vocal, and Susan stumbled upon a Black Racer crossing the trail.

Who knows what happened to this black bird but it got around pretty good for being lame. This was in the sanctuary of the nature center in Brown County, Indiana.
