Back to snakes!

On the trail today, I heard a sound I couldn't identify, then saw a snake slithering past me just at the point where trail meets grass. I managed to say, "Whoa!" or something. Hubby was right behind me. Afterwards, he pointed out that it was a rattler (that was the sound) and that he'd appreciate it if I let him know I'm loosing a snake on him. Whoops. That could have ended a lot worse than it did.
