This was as close as I've seen anyone come to being bit by a rattler! As Wally jumped back the snake was pulling back from a strike. It buzzed like crazy then into a bush. A few hundred yards later Wally noticed a snake track in the soft dirt. Ten or twenty yards later another snake in strike mode and buzzing. I suggest changing his name to snake whisperer but he comes up with Dances with Snakes. WOW! This was a nice hike but a little to hot for me on the way back. Suprized to see as much water as we did for August. My first time in this area and really liked it. So many trails for me to do in cooler weather. :sweat:

Thanks to Wally for driving and leading
