I worked at a camp in the high desert mountains above Palm Springs one summer, and in our orientation to new campers each week we had to tell them how to handle coming upon rattle snakes, scorpions, and tarantulas. One set of our youngest campers were coming back from a swim at the lake and heading for the biffy when two of them encountered a rattler. They did just what we had instructed, one stayed nearby to follow the snakes movement with their eyes and the other came to get a counselor. Much to my horror when we arrived back with the watcher, she was only four feet away and the snake had coiled and was rattling away. I guess we didn't stess that watch from a distance part in our orientation :-). We got her to back away slowly, then had the sad duty of using hoe and shovel to hold and behead the snake. We put the head in a tin can and smashed it closed, then gave the body to the wranglers in the horse unit who barbequed it with supper that night and everyone got a taste. MMMmmmmm, tastes like. . .chicken! :-)<br />-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-6077970121669602952010-06-02T11:56:19.915-05:002010-06-02T11:56:19.915-05:00Wow!
