Swimming Part 2

This is the upper Kern River here in California. It was on a stretch like this that I watched a rattlesnake slide off into the water, raise its head to face up stream and whip its rear end like it was dancing and it sailed across the river like it had been doing just that for its entire life. It crossed and climbed out a little further down on the other side. You haven't lived until you've slipped your own feet and tail end into this water after a six mile hike with full pack.
