Snakes

If there's one thing that terrifies me about hiking the PCT, it's the snakes. I can't stand snakes. I can't even stand to be around snakes when I know they are harmless. The way they move makes me cringe and the thought of seeing one strike chills me to the bone. Rattlesnakes are found along the PCT all through California and I've heard them being as long as 8 feet. No, no, no, no, no. I don't ever want to see anything like that. Unfortunately its an inevitability of hiking the PCT. I guess I'll just have to get over it...
