Gecko,
If you're not used to being around rattlers, I would suggest not attempti=
ng the cache at this time. This is springtime and you could be walking i=
nto a den of trouble!

It was not signs of a rattle snake, it was the snake. Use extreme cautio=
n
as he is hiding in a hard to see location. You will be forced to get clo=
se
before you can see him. I think he has setup house keeping there.

While reading the logs for GCJFPP, I noticed that the first two people to
attempt this cache saw "signs" of a rattlesnake ahead. Being from a plac=
e
where rattlesnakes aren't a huge issue, and being accident prone (I've ha=
d
two cactus incidents while caching so far, one pierced a muscle), I'm
wondering just what exactly the signs of a rattlesnake in the area are,
other than the obvious rattle.
Also, I've been searching the internet for information about how to deal
with a rattlesnake bite, and so far there doesn't seem to be much other t=
han
to keep the wound below the heart, don't cut it open or use a tournequett=
e,
and call for help. Anyone have any other suggestions?
If you don't hear from me by tomorrow, it's probably 'cause I'm going to
attempt GCJFPP this afternoon, and Mr. Rattlesnake might decide to eat me=
Signed,
Dumb Desert Dipstick :-)
