So, I got a new bike yesterday! It's pink and has a bell
I went for a short (4.5 mile) ride just to test it out.
I was riding along and saw 2 good-sized mule bucks!!
When I turned around and was coming back I saw the original 2 PLUS 2 more, then a tiny little female.
I was so happy because I've been cooped up all summer so far.
I was watching the doe who was really close to the trail when all of the sudden I heard a noise.....
I thought to myself, no, it couldn't be, and slammed on my brakes.
When I looked behind me I saw it!!!!
It was about 3 foot long Rattling and standing up, about 6 inches was on the trail.
The Western Diamond Back!!!!
I was SO excited because I've been hoping and hoping to see one of these. Not only did I see one, he was performing for me!!!
OF COURSE I didn't have my camera (it was just a short trip and I wasn't looking for anything)
I moved towards him a little bit to get a closer look as he started to "run" away from me.
I will now be bringing my camera with me, and as happy as a clam for seeing my first wild rattler
Thanks for reading!
