Desert Boonie found it (nearly stepped on it), I video'd it.

Very nice, see going off trail provides great encounters with the wildlife.

Nice! At least it gave you warning

Do you REALLY think I mind going off trail Ken?

That's why rattlesnakes don't really bother me...they at least are courteous enough to give warning, and they try to avoid you. Other creatures have way less manners.
