Reply to comment by TheTarquin in I didn't have a real camera at the time, but I have taken a couple trips to eastern/central Washington. I liked this sign, and the distant view of the mountains by Nixx_Mazda
The last time I saw a rattlesnake was out at the lakes near Quincy. I heard a rattle and saw it slither under a rock, so my dumb ass walked up as close as I could to take a picture of it. Honestly, I'm surprised I'm not* dead yet.

Yeah, the thing about rattlesnakes is that they're usually shockingly polite. When humans are involved, the rattle means "yo, you're getting a little close and I'm spooked". But they're more likely to try to get away then to fight something like 20+ times their size.
Glad you're still with us!
