I ran across a Mohave Rattler around midnight with RTW awhile back. Its cohort was about 50' away waiting in a bush as I jogged past, thankfully out of reach (I hope) of striking. There's a cache I'm going for this summer that is the epitome of rattler country, and apparently it's so bad that my father-in-law refuses to hike that part of the range. Wuss.

Just wanted to give y'all a heads up! The rattlesnakes are out! I have been hiking in AZ for 10 years and I have never run into a rattler on the trail...until this morning! Talked to other hikers today who said they just started seeing them this week. So be careful before sticking your hand into that rock pile to pull out the ammo can! Be safe!
