Rattler Encounter (PICS)
This was the most exciting find of the week for me on vacation last week. I didn't actually find it, my Bro-in-law and niece did. It was slithering right into the middle of our campsite! If my little nieces and nephew hadn't been camping with us I would have tried to just let him go on his way, but with the little kids around it had to be moved. I admit I was pretty dang nervous.
*DISCLAIMER* I had no previous experience handling venemous snakes and do not recommend it to anyone. Had it been avoidable I wouldn't have handled this one. In some pics the sticks I was using look kinda short, but check the pic I will also post of me with the sticks, they were quite long (no way was I gonna get closer than necessary). I don't recommend handling venemous snakes to anyone but those with experience, and don't plan on doing so again myself.
The snake was moved out of our campsite with no harm done to it, although when my mom told some neighbor campsites about it their first questions was "You didn't kill it?" geeez, some people.....
Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (correct me if I'm wrong)

Yeah, it was a fun experience, but the Rattler was quite cooperative and I'm not counting on them all to be that way!
