Willits, Mendocino County
Northern California
When we came, a patch of mountain was cleared to let sunshine
in, in this dense woods. We moved heaps of tree trunks cut in one-meter logs to
be used as steps in the terraced slopes. Matt was resting after being stung by
yellow jackets nesting in the ground. I lifted a log to the wheelbarrow when I
heard hissing. I looked down - a rattlesnake was aiming to strike at my face! Out of reflex, I dropped the log and jumped. It kind of jumped also before retreating. Apparently, man and snake were startled together....
