The snake from when we were on vacation!! NaBloPoMo Day 12

When we were in Asheville, NC a few weeks ago, we took a hike.

Do you see it?

Yes. there's a snake.

Tom saw the snake way before I did.
But we were really close to it.

We were too busy scuttling backwards to take a photo where you could see the snake's head, but it was extremely triangular. I vaguely remembered from probably some Instagram meme that triangular snake heads were not the best shaped head for friendly encounters.

But the snake slithered off, flicking his forked tongue at us but otherwise just disappearing into the leaves. We really didn't think much about it until a little while later down the trail, when we came across this helpful sign:

Beware of the copperhead snakes!

It would have been idk kind of nice to have positioned the sign maybe a little bit closer to the start of the trail, just saying!!!
