bringing up the rear

A nice sunday hike ..... right before meeting the grumpiest, most ill-tempered and tenacious rattlesnake in Tumwater Canyon. It was right in the middle of the trail and would not move! My Mr. Janedoh hurled rocks at it to chase it off but it only moved a couple of feet off the trail so we kept an eye on it and then hauled-ass by.... we had a good laugh in the car about how much of an animal lover he is as he was just trying to chase it off, not trying to kill it. I was so proud of the kids, they stayed calm and did as they were told.
Mountain kids ... roar.
