Give rattlesnack a wide berth


Dear Pedro, I went camping in New Mexico, and when I was crossing a stream there was a diamondback rattlesnake not five feet away on the other side.

At least he was on the other side of the stream, Will. But they can swim, you know. I hope you gave the critter a wide berth.
