Ever heard the saying: Like a snake in long grass? Fortunately neither had I

Hiking with cattle and friends this morning, quite an adventure .   Lots of bush wacking to scare any snakes, wellington boots de rigueur........No sightings.     Nice plump cows, a tree fern, couple of vertical several hundred foot drops to rivers on either side of the ridge - Macho Monte to the left and Brege to the right.............good morning.
