			<content:encoded><![CDATA[While out doing some trail maintenance in my community I came upon a peculiar sight:  The largest eastern garter snake I ever saw was in the middle of the trail, but something was really wrong on the head end—or so I thought.  Turns out it had a pretty large toad half swallowed and the gore, slime, and secretions made it difficult to process what I was seeing.  I didn't have a camera, but I found a YouTube video of a similar meal.  In case you've never seen such a thing, it's fascinating and gross, although in the encounter I witnessed the toad was no longer showing signs of life:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a group of 12 that will stay at Camp Peggy O'Brien on July 25, 2026. My question is, what do most people do regarding accommodating parking for 12 people at The Garden Trailhead? I understand that many choose to park at Marcy Field, then take the shuttle to the trailhead, but from my experience, the shuttle will not be able to accommodate even close to 12 people.<br />
<br />
The best solution I can currently think of is to drive ~3 cars to the trailhead, drop everyone off, then those 3 drivers would return to Marcy Field, park, and take the shuttle to the trailhead. Of course, we would have to repeat this process but in reverse when we return. Since I imagine we aren't the first group to experience this, does anyone have any better solutions then the one I proposed?<br />
<br />
Your thoughts would be much appreciated, thank you.]]></content:encoded>
