I was out hiking, and came very close to stepping on a rattlesnake. There was not an easy way to get around it, so we had to backtrack and cut through some heavy brush.
A few years ago, I was out hiking, and almost stepped on a rattlesnake. Thank goodness it alerted!

Oh my goodness! That must have been frightening. What happened after it alerted?

It took me a minute to figure out what I was hearing, and then I back up VERY quickly!!

Where did the snake go?
assistant
It stayed put. My friend and I had to backtrack, and cut through some heavy brush to get around it, because the trail was too narrow to walk past it on.
