It was a hot summer day. A quick run exploring Mt. Ord to try to beat the heat by just a few degrees. While we may have succeeded, it was barely noticeable. 

I led the group to a natural water source that I knew of. We pulled up, and I jumped out all excited to dip my head in the cool water. Thank god I was looking at the ground, because about a foot in front of me was a big ol rattle snake. I warned everyone, and we checked it out for a second. He seemed to start moving away, and we quickly forgot about him with the cool water waiting. 

Anxiously, we dunked our heads in the fresh spring water. A quick relief from the 105+ degree temperatures. All of a sudden I heard some rattling noise.
