Snake Week: 1st Encounter

I do not like snakes.  I do not know why, since the only snakes I ever saw growing up in Minnesota were the little harmless garter snakes.  They never hurt anybody.  I think the best way to describe my dislike is: if you have seen the great Indiana Jones movies, then I say: "I dislike snakes in the same manner which 'Indy' does."

The first week of July 2014 was our one year anniversary of owning a cabin. During the past year, much to my relief I had never had occasion to meet a snake up here.  And this was fine with me.

But this was about to change, with three encounters in the same week.

The first was a warm-up for the main event a few days hence, then a more pleasant encounter a few days later.

The first event is described in the following pages [Snake, Event One Story ].

The other two will be describe with my next posting when I complete the write-up.
