All systems are go and all bags are packed. After a final short (1 hour) hike at the park yesterday we are set for lift off at 2 today. I have a duffel bag and back pack full of gear, but not many clothes. It could get to be a smelly week before it is over!
On our hike yesterday we ran into MR SNAKE! It seems it was the deadly Southern Hog Nose Snake aka Spreading Adder or as my snake fearing buddies say A COBRA! We had a biker go by us on the trail and she yelled snake. Well as you can imagine it was like a stack of dominoes when the leader comes to a full stop. It took some time to convince a couple of our good buddies to go around, but we finally made it. Babs was not very happy with me when I took a stick and poked him to see if he would move. He seemed rather disturbed by this gesture and immediately coiled and puffed up. Unfortunately Sheila did not have her flute or straw basket-so we went on by and finished the hike. I was really pretty amazed that he was out on a hot July afternoon to begin with. MAYBE HE WAS A RABID HOG NOSED COBRA! We update daily with few pics and description of the day during our stay in Oh, Canada!
