Pictured is Spring Lake, in Annadel State Park. We took a slow two-hour circuit around the lakes with some friends. I can’t call it a hike so much as a stroll. Still, by the end I had developed an intense pain in my hip. How old am I, again? After the hike we went to Costco to stock up on denture glue.

As easy as we took it, the hike was not without risks. In this case the risk wasn’t that I might get attacked by a snake, but that I might get yelled at by an overcautious hiking companion/wife. Never let it be said I wouldn’t put my life on the line for a photo… especially a photo of a harmless non-rattlesnake. (It is generally true that “the only dangerously venomous native snakes found in California are the rattlesnakes, which have a rattle on the end of the tail.”)
