Repeat Hike, Repeat Snake

Yesterday we went hiking with Ross's sister Lee at Usery Park. Lee did the Merkle Trail while we did the Merkle/Vista Trail. While driving out of the park Ross spotted a snake along side of the road. It turned out to be a bullsnake that posed for a couple of pictures before scooting off into the brush.

So lets see here...what is the usual topic of Ross' blog? Snakes! OK, remind me to stay out of Arizona. :-)

Don't let a few snakes stop you from visiting Arizona! Heck, some of them aren't even poisonous! :-)
