I'm not familiar with the Virginia Mountains. Is it that ghetto up there that they'd break into a van left there for a day?

That really sucks about your minivan.

That tick kinda looks like the invasive Asian longhorned tick. They have been found in VA.

You're OK, that's not a Lone Star tick. They have a white spot on their back.

On your phone, take the pic and send it to Gemini (Google's free AI app) just like sending a text. Ask it what kind of tick. Damn thing is amazing.

I took a pic of your pic and sent it to Gemini. It said it appears to be an adult female blacklegged tick. You could argue male, but the blacklegged ID looks solid.

There are also good tick ID charts from Virginia and Texas A&M. VA chart A&M chart The VA chart tells you what diseases each carry and the incubation periods.

Gemini also tells you what diseases they carry, symptoms to watch for, etc. It recommends saving the tick by taping it to a card or putting in a baggy with alcohol. Then it can be tested if you get sick and want to know if it might be tick-related.

Also, Gemini says that a blacklegged tick must typically be attached for 24 to 48 hours to transmit Lyme disease, but the Powassan virus can be transmitted within just a few minutes.

There is the largest drug addiction clinic I have ever seen in Hillsville. 24 buildings f complex. There are about 9 more suboxone clinics nearby.

It’s a transient place in the heart of the opioid crisis.

Thieves hit up that cabin every three months.

Stole canoes, pots pans silverware copper wire and a tv from the 1990’s.


Tell me where are you haning out where you can park your car overnight and four wheel an hour away and not worry about your shite.
