Dove into the rocks at the base of Huck Norris before I had a chance to do anything about it

i have a lifelong truce with rattlesnakes.  just let me know you are there and i will go out of my way to avoid you.  so far this has worked really well.

spiders on the other hand - all out fuckin' warfare with those little bastards.

I thought running into a rattlesnake would be scary. Turns out it saw me before I saw it, and it politely rattled to let me know exactly where it was and how to avoid it. All in all, a pleasant encounter.
