I’ll post an entire video of today’s run tomorrow or Tuesday. I wanted to just check in real quick to introduce you to my friend* – all four to five feet of him. Enjoy!
* Seen on the Serrano Trail, north side of the 73 freeway about 1/2 mile from where it goes under the road. It was pretty cool out, so he was pretty lethargic. I had to get pretty close to him to elicit any response.
Did you use your little Kodak video camera? The sound was so clear, just the rattle.
ReplyDeleteYIKES! Watch out, that's what happens when you trail run..you get tough!
ReplyDeletehate snakes. hate them.

ReplyDeleteWow! Good thing you saw him! I usually have my ipod blasting and am completely oblivious to snakes. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteWow Glenn, so looks like you should be on the Discovery Channel. Lethargic or not, My butt would not be any where near that.
ReplyDeleteToo close for me...........
ReplyDeleteAwesome! That's so cool!
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteI just have the small, innocuous garter snakes around here...nothing intimidating like that! Cool video, Glenn!
Hey, this is good for those folks who might not have met a snake and aren't sure what to listen for. I linked to it from my own trail-running/outdoors blog, thanks:
