That’s a beautiful snake, probably best enjoyed from a distance.

When I first moved from the city to a rural town in Australia my first hint that things would be different was the annual cover warning on the local paper that we were heading into “SNAKE SEASON”!!!

WTF?!?! There’s a season for snakes!!!

The high desert in California is the same [snake season], when on the trails you can spot the city folks a mile away with the family dog off lead and the lack of terrain knowledge is a dead giveaway.

Don’t even get me started on the dehydrated ding dongs with 6 ounce bottles of water on a 5 mile hike…
