A bonus hike, albeit a short one. Andrea got back from some family business (she's in the Mafia) and we had a couple of hours of sunlight left. It was in the low 50s, but the sun was out, so we went to see if snakes are back at their local dens.
First sighting was a Redback, as often happens!
We checked out the Valley and saw nothing. The Cottonwoods, however, had a Garter crawling around outside.
Another Redback. We saw many.
The Rock Wall Dens skunked us... until we saw a little rock out by the trail in front of the den-site... a super secret triple shoestring Garter flip!
We spent some time trying to find fallen leaves that were the color of Andrea's hair. Close, but no cigar.
We ended this short hike with two super secret Redback flips.
But wait... there's more!!
Yesterday, Thursday October 22nd, Andrea found a wee DeKay's Snake on a lunchtime walk! YESSS!
Not much left for the season... turtle-training is tomorrow. We don't know how much beach-walking we'll be doing, but we're going to do it again.
