Didn't think I was that afraid of snakes but I screamed like a little bitch when I was getting some wood for my fire and found this little guy.

Yeah, that gave me a shiver down the spine just looking at the picture. Could you tell what kind it was?

I believe it was an eastern garter snake.

That is an eastern garter snake. Snakes, bats, and spiders are all good. Don't kill them. None of them want to bite you and they eat pests that we like even less like flies, mice, and mosquitoes.

That's all subjective... I really don't like snakes...

AKA the most harmless snake on the entire East coast excepting maybe the hognose snake which will actually play possum and stick it's tongue out ha.  Any snake will give ya a startle though if you're not expecting it.  I found a water snake halfway through eating a brown trout on the side of a creek up in Alburtis this summer.

 

This is from last week but what the heck.  Blues are going off down at the beaches right now.  This thing has a much better chance of taking a chunk out of you than that snake ha.

Here's an aerial (ferris wheel) pic from a local Carbon Co October fest on Saturday with The Blue Mountain and Bake Oven knob out in the distance.

Since my pass was still good spent another beautiful morning in the IPW. So many lakes up there. Picturesque but very windy today. 6fe6c6d300af86c0b82757f716487989.jpg

Its $10 to get in and u have access for 3 days. A yearly pass is $55 but in winter they close the gate and don't maintain the road so it's not worth it for me. Gate will prob be closing for the winter in a few weeks.

 

You can access it from other free areas but this time of year the road is pretty sketchy. It's actually pretty sketchy in July, but passable.

Kinda sad since we're only a few weeks from ski season. I just took a picture of blue. I'll post that
