Shit, man - I'll go so far as to say fuck right off with the idea of even VISITING GA or FL.
Copperheads and cottonmouths are not rattlesnake species. Copperheads where I hike and ride are very aggressive. Normally I can scoot them off trail with a long stick but these will lunge at you. Mean little fuckers.
The Southern terminus for the Appalachian Trail is in N GA. Quite beautiful and plenty of rugged terrain to play on. The nearby town of Helen is Bavarian village in the mountains.Shit, man - I'll go so far as to say fuck right off with the idea of even VISITING GA or FL.
Now, if the AT started in Florida then nah, no thru hiking.

Yeah, I'll stick up for the riding in N GA too, some good trails up north of Dahlonega.
Huh.... TIL.
TIL ?
The were super common in the mountains in Virginia. Most often seen on sunny trails on cool days. I have literally had to push several off of trails with sticks. Mother's dog got bit by one once when visiting.
Shit I grew up in southern California. Ratllesnakes are almost as common as Coyotes. Suckers are everywhere. You wore Hi Top leather hiking boots for a reason in the hills
Oooh, oooh, can I play?
My wife and I almost stepped on a Fer de Lance (Bothrops Asper) while on a rain-forest hike in Costa Rica. Thanks be to @FSM that it was cold and rainy at the time. Looked down an not more than 12" from my wifes right foot and my left foot.
Just hanging out in the middle of the trail. We had stopped to listen to some howler monkeys.
Still shiver when I think about it.

Meh, rub some dirt on it and walk it off.
Yup, pretty much why the wife and I hold the couples world record for combined high and long jump from a standing start.

The only rattlesnake I've ever seen was here in muskoka. Was fishing on some rocky river with my dad when I decided to take a seat on a rock ledge.Oooh, oooh, can I play?

The crack in rock ledge let out a loud rattle just as my ass was about to sit down. Turned around and saw it, luckily it didnt try to bite me in the butthole.
Caught zero fish that day.
So, my kid is homeschooling. He was done with his day by 10:00, so we went to Targhee and did bike park laps until we couldnt anymore. There were a total of seven riders on the entire mountain, and it snowed monday, so the dirt was PERFECT. Stunning fall outing, and no-one hit the deck.
What lake is that? I am jellyyyyy.
So?
Steamboat Sep. 10-13 with the canadian?
Saw one when road riding on Lakeshore Road over by Split Rock Mountain in New York state; saw a snake crossing the road ahead, approached it to wave off cars until it got across, saw that it was a diamondback. It didn't care, kept going, and cars did stop.The only rattlesnake I've ever seen was here in muskoka. Was fishing on some rocky river with my dad when I decided to take a seat on a rock ledge.

Next time
Cliff Lake, just slightly northwest of the Henry's Lake and the Centennials.
Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest - Cliff Point Campground

It gets good day use but only has 6 campsites (tho plenty of boat-in free sites on the lake) so dawn and dusk are the jam.
Neighboring lake (Wade ~ 60 sites) sees more motorboats...
And across the street from the Lionhead CDT (best biking in SW MT)
With its white sandy bottom (#That'swhatshesaid) it is the closest you can get to the Caribbean in Montana water temps notwithstanding...
Fishes? Asking for a friend.Next time

Just had one of those rides...
Just wasn't feeling it, slow and wobbly, bad line choices, shoes tied too tight etc etc. Should have taken that as a sign and turned around.
I paid for it by getting caught in a sudden thunderstorm. Monsoon rain out of no where... ugh. And the sun light dissapeared in a flash, had to leave the forest by braille basically.
Beer me now.

Quit pimping Limon trails or they'll be overrun.
I thought any rattlers in the NE were Timber Rattlesnakes?
Just had beer(s) with @Nick and I think it’s crappenening. You can check out my gimp box in person.
To be honest, they could us a bit more traffic...
I have a cousin that is a trail builder in Costa Rica.Oooh, oooh, can I play?

JUST FUCKING NOPE
Oh Fuck me
And I was going to complain that I have never seen it in the 90’s here in September (but it’s supposed to be Saturday).
