Avon Mountain
When we were in Connecticut, Shawn and I decided to take the walk up Talcott Mountain. It was a perfect sunny day to enjoy the view of the valley.




Until we began the decent…and this beast literally crossed our path. That’s right a gigundo snake. Shawn was walking in the lead and looking backwards to talk to me. As he unwittingly marched toward the snake, I barely sputtered out “sssssssssssssssssssssnnnnnnnnaaaaaaake!”. I have never seen a snake this big. Not even at a Nature Center field trip. While I was doing an eeewy eeewy yuck yuck dance, Shawn took a picture of the grossness. We don’t think it was poisonous but it was too big for that to matter. Honestly, I think it was 4 or 5 feet long. I don't even think I'm exaggerating. That is a huge tree trunk it is near...it still gives me the heebie jeebies!
