[GeoStL] Re: Talk about snake bites

What sort of snake were they claiming it to be?
It's certainly possible that it was a venomous snake as there are plenty of 
them down there, but more likely it was not. Most snake bites are from 
NON-venomous snakes.

If you do not know your snakes it is VERY foolish  to pick them up! 
It is also VERY irresponsible to try to scare someone with a snake! I get angry 
when I hear of such things! Snakes are already misunderstood and feared by many 
& idiots like that do nothing to help the situation!

One thing's for sure. This guy will not likely make that same mistake again. LOL

  I remember someone discussing this just a while ago.

  We went to Meramec State park and found one of the new caches placed there 
and when returning to our truck we hear someone yelling for medical help down 
by the river. 

  Seems that a not so smart city person decided to grab a snake out of the 
Meramec while canoeing to aggrivate his girlfriend with it and got bit.  Not 
once but twice by the same snake.  Doesn't it make you wonder what possesses a 
person to grab a snake out of the river.

  So after the ambulance arrived his girlfriend needed a ride to Meramec 
Caverns to get her car so we volunteered and gave her a ride.  

  That was our excitement for the day.

  We enjoyed the new Glade View cache by Tim & Pam.  Thanks!

  Jen
