8/5/11, Pleasant Ridge Loop + Snake, 20.3mi, 3LFC

Interesting encounter with a timber rattler when coming back on West Dover Road just south of where the Appalachian Trail crosses it. When I first passed it I thought it was some kind of thick rope on the road, but realized it was a snake. Turned around to take a look (stopping about 15 feet away), saw a small rattle on its tail and that it was trying to cross the road. I slowed down traffic until it eventually slithered away on the other side. Took 10 minutes or so.
