At 1:00 PM today some campers showed me
a sub-adult gopher snake in a rock wall
by their campsite. They said it had been
chasing mice about in the wall for for
much of the morning.
one of the rangers
At 4:45 PM took me to where he had
seen a large gopher snake cross the road
(in the campground) a few minutes earlier.

few feet from the edge of the road.
