Hey fellow gate guards....I told you all about my rattler experience,
well now that it has been a couple of days I am sitting here with DW and laughing. I am a wildlife nut....I have pictures of me holding snake, skunks and being very close to Grizzley bear.
When I walked up beside our motorhome and heard that rattle it was the most sickening sound I have ever heard. The snake did not strike but slithered under our generator wagon and I ran into the motorhome to change my pants. That snake was 16 feet long and 6 inches around(now remember at the time I was scared out of my witts). My wife said I was as pale as she had ever seen me. Mr Rattler that was killed(I am sorry that it was killed ,I tried to get the game warden to relocate it) by one of the pipeline crew it was actually only about 5 ft long. Boy I can sure laugh about it now.
