Linda went to check on her pet snakes, I tagged along. Some new SoMo sights for me, including Lost Ranch Mine. I enjoyed that little climb to National. First time I've seen those mines. One had two resting rattlers at the opening. I like Goat Hill, so it was nice to take a different approach. We had a nice little breeze up top, then nothing once we started back down. I stepped right next to a rattler on the way down. It was indifferent, we went around. Kind of a warm night, even under total darkness. We finished without incident. Enjoyable little desert stroll, nice to get a sweat and end the month on a good note.
