Admin Mamba923 here – Look what I found today! It’s one of the first blog posts we published on our site almost three years ago – during the first year of Dewey’s show, Gone Herpin’ on the Roar and Soar Network (check your local listings). I’m reposting it today while we wait for our site to be rebuilt. And in case you’re one of the few people out there who doesn’t know, our site ihatejunenash.com was hacked recently, for the third time, and all of our content deleted. I’m thinking that June had something to do with it so if anybody sees her in person, feel free to accuse her! And get it on video! And send it to me! Anyway – until we get the site back up, enjoy this trip down memory lane with one of Dewey’s best friends, Herpetologist Sal Scibetta

I’ve been in Costa Rica for a week, visiting a couple of different areas around this beautiful country. I just left the lodge in Sarapiqui headed to the forests around La Fortuna and the famous, picturesque Volcano Arenal. As I was enroute to Arenal, I received a message from an old herping buddy, Dewey Nash. He was in fact staying in the area. I offered to pick him up at his hotel since I had my trusty Toyota FJ40. He gave me directions to the lodge. It was a little outside of town so I was picturing a rustic jungle lodge. When I arrived, I had to double check to make sure it was the right place. It was a very fancy “hotel and spa”! Has Dewey gone soft? I knocked on this upstairs room in the corner and he was dressed ready to hit the jungle. Before we head out, he wants to grab lunch. Rice and beans? Not quite, the restaurant at the hotel was fancy. By the way, the guy in this photo with us – he’s the same driver we had on a trip back in our sophomore year of college! Can’t believe the guy was still here.  (Admin Mamba923 here – sorry guys, that photo wasn’t in my computer. Sal must have sent it after he’d sent the rest of the article. It was a great photo though)
