Now that's intersting ForestGal... That squirrel could tear you to shreds, bite and give you diseases you don't want yet the snake couldn't harm you.

I know that, basically, but in my opinion, squirrels are very cute, and snakes aren't. Maybe I've still got the willies from the rattlesnake encounter last summer, on the high road between Grassy Hollow and Jackson Flat.
I just don't like to be startled - last Monday Nolena and I, a friend, and 3 dogs were enjoying a nice hike up the road at McLellan Flat. A
butterfly flew into my face, and from my reaction, you would have thought I was being attacked by a pterodactyl!
