I’m not sure who was more startled, me or the snake. If he hadn’t made such a ruckus trying to get out of my lumbering way, I don’t think I’d have seen him at all. Typically it’s not a good idea to startle snakes. Fortunately, it was just a garter snake hanging out with a bunch of our hoses, so he was pretty harmless. Can’t wait to head south where nastier critters live.
Today we left Massachusetts and made way for New Hampshire. We set up just outside of Portsmouth and close to the state’s scant 18 miles of coastline and beaches. Aside from those two things, we don’t have anything else planned for our stay here . . . at least not yet. But maybe a week on the beach isn’t such a bad idea. We could use a vacation.
