On several search and rescue missions in the Granite and Ord Mountains
surrounding Lucerne Dry Lake we have encountered rattlesnakes, 3 on Stoddard
Mtn http://digital-desert.com/places/stoddard-mountain.html . They are out
there so be careful when walking off the lakebed in warm weather. On a field
trip in the Cajon Pass, one of my students went chasing a lizard into a
creosote bush and I told him not to reach into any bushes or under rocks. Two
minutes later, as we walked up the San Andreas Fault, we watched a rattler
slither into a bush in front of us; could not have been any better. There are a
few snakes out there but chances are you won't encounter one, just watch where
you go.

OK. So the myth is the location and the
type of rattlesnakes.
Not that there was a den of 50 of them.
That makes me feel sooooo much better.
Not!

Is that for real???? With almost a half century of
Jeeping and desert camping I've seen just a few lone snakes. Never anything
like that.
Ok you got me! But not real! Right?

Thought you would like to see what has just

Just what we need ..... a nest of them.

Note the Hibernaculum (den, nest, burrow, basket)
full of Crotalus
Scutulatus (Mojave green).
Which would be a group, gang, rumba, nest, bed of
... "snak-an-" which was
derived from the
Proto-Indo-European word (s)neg-o- (to
crawl/creep). Anyway you folks
that hike or ride motorcycles out in the desert be
extra careful, these pics were taken last
week in Red
Rock Canyon.
Watch it!!!
