@expedition.chris stops for a friendly chat with a local black rat snake.

The beautiful 4′ black rat snake was sunning herself on the trail. We had a chat about the availability of a feast (mice) at the nearest shelter. We collectively decided a snake might freak the hikers out more than the annoying mice. And then we went our separate ways… #AppalachianTrail
