[RC] [RC] snakes - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== The snakes are out here in Southern California, be careful. Until Bar H Boogie, I had never come across an angry rattler before. The normal rattler (or any other snake) behavior is to get outta the way when a large animal comes at them. But, at Bar H I got into a standoff with a pretty big and pissed off Mohave rattler. It was going down into Dawson's Canyon -- so no way to go around the snake. Luckily the rider who came up behind me had heard that squirting them with water will make them move, so I held her horse while she tried that. For future reference it does work. Since Bar H I've seen two more rattlers and one gopher snake up in the hills in Norco. The gopher snake pulled the same deal as the Mohave rattler at Bar H in that he didn't move off the trail. Luckily he was what he was, so we just stepped around him. ~Nicole ============================================================ People in Alabama swear by manure tea as an herbal remedy for colds. ~ Lisa Redmond ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
