First time ever in my life saw a rattlesnake in the wild!
The snake had beautiful green patterns, small head, huge mid-section, and dark rattler. It was right in the middle of the trail, stretched and enjoying the sunshine. There was no way around it so Edward and I decided to persuade it off the trail. We tried throwing sticks at it but the rattler headed towards us instead. Quite intimidating. Finally Edward poked it with a 15-foot stick a few times and got it slithered off the trail.
The beautiful creature was spotted near Salamander Rock, about half way into the 25-mile ride.

What? No pictures? Do you expect us to just take your words?
"Do you have a camera with you?" I asked Edward.
"No I don't" he said.

"My BlackJack II actually takes video and images but I had completely forgotten about it." said Edward...
