Late breakfast at Pam's Diner in Talihina and a quick check of the shops on the main drag, then back to the cabin. We checked out the creek on the way back to try to get some cool pics of the water and plants and a neighbor's rock work but instead...
The first time we happened upon the water moccasin he was on the bank only a few feet away from us as we were looking at the plants. After he struck out at us, we ran to the Jeep and drove back to the cabin, adrenaline flowing. When we let the guys know about the encounter with death, they asked if we shot the snake. They were not impressed that we instead opted to crack open some beers and do our nails...and play Guitar Hero...
and commune with nature...
Later we hiked up to the bear trap and camera at dusk scaring ourselves numerous times walking through spider webs. No bear sitings (thank God) even though we smelled bear (or deer?) urine along the trail.
