This one about gave me a heart attack a couple days ago. Went to go hiking with the Wife and put my boot on guard rail to retie it in the parking lot at Swiss Valley.
When I did this I saw a tail of a snake going down into the bush about 3 feet from me and I thought ok, till I looked a little right and this was looking right at Me so I backed up to 6-8 feet trying to see what kind of snake it was.
Without Me knowing my wife comes up behind me while I’m looking at the snake she starts to spray me with Off bug spray and when I heard that can hissing and felt it hit my calf, I about launched and had a heart attack, I had thought the first snake got Me.
Scared the S*** out of Me.

It turned out to be a water snake.
Just FYI Swiss Valley has most of the bridges damaged from flooding and it is a good Trout stream or was it had some serious flooding.
