Recorded a message near Cable Gap Shelter in North Carolia on 5/03/10

Mile 157

I wanted to record this yesterday, but didn’t have cell phone coverage. Right now I’m actually at Fontana Dam.

Yesterday I was leaving Cody Gap shelter after eating brunch and not too far after that I saw this, well I heard this sound of a rattlesnake and sure enough three feet in front of me right off the side of trail was this massive rattlesnake. Good thing Kooper was behind me or else he probably would have tried to sniff it or something and gotten bit. So, but it didn’t come after me or anything. I went around it but I got a picture. Hopefully I’ll be able to post it at some point.

But like I said, right now I’m at Fontana Dam and about to head into the Smokies. My dad came by and picked up Kooper last night and dropped off some food. So I’m moving on. Peace.

Remember how you chased that skunk around in San Francisco??? Please don’t do that with the rattle snakes :slight_smile: hehehe…love you brother!
