I was "Just Riding Along" last night at about 0300 and came across this
bad boy slithering across the trail. Aparently according to the Doc at
the TMC, it is a rather nasty little critter.

Try posting that photo somewhere one doesn't have to log in to some POS
Orwellian crap site that is loaded with spyware and advertisements to
view a photo.

Nasty lookin' critter.
I'd say it is definitely poisonous.

Yeah, the triangular head kind of gives it away.

I'd rather eat in the DFAC or even an MRE before eating that sucker

I often run across Rattlesnakes on on next to the trail. What I do is put
the bike betweenmyself and the snake, a slowly walk on by.
I have to keep a good eye out for snakes on the trail, so as not to run
them over. Usually I'll stop and shoo them away with a stick, ( but not the
Rattlers!)
How did you go about catching it?
