My favorite place!

Submitted by Carla Hansen on Tue, 2017-06-06 00:00

I love the mountains right behind my house they provide my family and I with a lot of joy!  We love to hike, jog the trails, ride our motor cycles and atv's on these trails.  We love the smell of the sage brush after it rains and the beautiful willd flowers in the spring, the rock formations, and the wildlife.  However,  I would love to get rid of the rattle snakes but that might disrupt the eco system.   I really hate them and they scare me to death.  So, I consider them ugly, deterimental, and the something that needs to change.  However, I know they are part of nature and help to keep a balance in nature so I guess I will just be more cautious!

You, me, and Indiana Jones seem to feel the same way about snakes Carla.  (Hopefully you've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark!) Unfortunately though, you are also right about them having their role in the ecosystem.  And as they say, they are more afraid of us than we are of them, although I have a hard time believing that.
