Yeah, back in 1991, I took a CA road trip along Hwy 101 in early April. Made a pit stop along the beach South of the Bay area on Hwy 1 just south of Big Sur. There, right on the beach/rocks, and even swimming in the rocky saltwater shallows, were hundreds of coast garters. I was stunned. They were all very high red. Definitely a stunningly beautiful garter. I wanted to, but I didn't keep any. Still, I left the beach, my hands reeking of garter musk.
