sleeping with the rattle snakes

I think this is my favorite pic Steffan took on our trip. we set up at midnight and woke up about 5am. some old local guy pulls up in his truck and says that we were brave for staying near the dry creek bed which is home to lots of rattlers! They just caught 5 just a few days before we were there. We didn't see any though. but I did have a snake bite kit in first aid pack,glad we didn't have to use it!
