Yesterday

[LittleM]

A colleague of mine and myself convinced my wife to hike with us yesterday.  We had seen a few timbers and that usually always freaks her out, even tho she knew that's what we were looking for.  I always tell her to follow directly behind me, footstep for footstep and she'll have no worries............

 

 

As we were walking along a game trail through a thick carpet of blueberry beneath a dense canopy, my colleague led, followed by me, followed by my wife. As you can see, there was a fairly large copperhead in the trail.  Of course, me and my buddy stepped over it as neither of us expected there to be a snake where it was, and we were BS'ing and motoring towards the next "good" spot when my wife says says to me that I just stepped on a copperhead.  Neither me nor my buddy stepped on it, as we would have been bit, but I bet it was close.  Very humbling for pro-snakers.  My wife wanted to know what the sense was in following us any further.

 

Moral to the story:  If your afraid of snakes, stay out of the woods until mid November.

Here all this time I felt safe in the woods with you, that's the last time I go hiking with you.

I'm not afraid of snakes and am in the woods as often as possible and I rarely see snakes -- Am I that blind -- are there that many and I just miss them?

 

I'm located right where middlesex, union, and somerset counties meet

You guys even got the snakes attention. It's looking right at the person taking the photo. Say cheese [emoji216]

Jeremy, you may have some copperheads by you, but not many if any timber rattlers
