Notes

My wife and I took a late afternoon hike down the Ossagon trail. We stopped to take some pictures and I startled the snake. I attempted to grab a few shots of it as it tried to escape into the grass - Sorry for the poor quality. I attached the full image. The snake is in the middle of the photo. I put it down as a racer, but it could very well be a ribbon snake.
