Mar 18 - Rattlesnake to Tunnel
Rattlesnake trail to connector, then Tunnel trail to Gibralter road. Carried a 15lb pack and enough water this time. Trail snacks were ok, forgot to season the couscous and forgot to pack our sporks. Seeing the rattlesnake was very cool. It had a nice loud big beautiful rattle. I am curious what will hatch from the eggs in the cistern.

Zoom in just under the poison oak in the center of the picture. With a phone camera we were unable to get a better picture for obvious reasons.
