Its after the snow and a lot of life is springing up after the fire, beware of rattlesnakes and other wildlife. I was walking to the outhouse and I realized there was a venomous southern pacific rattlesnake slithering in my direction. Got the scare out of me and almost shit britches when it hissed and rattled and was 20 feet in front of me.
