So far I've resisted doing anything illegal like taking one home. <BR/><BR/>And no, I'm not a random snake-molester. Early birders sometimes find snakes basking on the road, still alive if they're lucky. Garter snakes we chase, but gopher snakes I pick up and carry off.

We looked at that sign while entering Black Diamond, and then we encountered a snake on the trail. My thinking went like this: "Triangular head? Check. Fat body in proportion to its length? Check. Rattle on the tail? Check.

If this does happen to you (highly likely) feel secure in your pedaling magnifigance and speed right on by, flaunting your muscular superiority in a scornful "Queen Elizabeth-like half hand wave". It's what I do when attacked by wildlife, repeatedly. Perhaps it's just a Pennsylvania thing... <BR/><BR/>Here's wishing you both luck as you start in on your next part of "millennial-ish journies" in this next phase of your life. I personally think you should start your own blog, Robb, docunenting the places, distances, conditions and your physical, mental and psychological responses to each part of your physically healing exertions. This would help a lot of people in your situation, as well as show YOU how far you have developed. It's a long way since you were in that hospital bed with the funny shoes, eh?<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you both.<BR/><BR/>AnnalisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-64968541612920761352008-04-15T08:39:00.000-07:002008-04-15T08:39:00.000-07:00Go Robb go!I don't know if I've cycled 1000 miles ...Go Robb go!<BR/>I don't know if I've cycled 1000 miles in my entire life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11721968018164693610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-38050983221208983552008-04-14T22:54:00.000-07:002008-04-14T22:54:00.000-07:00I'm pretty sure I haven't pedaled that many miles ...I'm pretty sure I haven't pedaled that many miles ever.<BR/><BR/>Cool shots of the snake.

Not being a snake fan, though, I doubt I would take time to compare the size of the neck and head - I'd just head in the opposite direction speedy-quick!
