Mr. Towne, I just have to tell you about when my husband almost got bit by a huge rattlesnake. We were over in Sanford, and driving around deciding where to fish. We headed toward Osteen, and stopped where the old bridge was over the river. They had taken out the middle of the old bridge, but had left the end for fishing. This old bridge part was underneath the newer bridge. We pulled off the new bridge, down the road to the end of the old bridge. My husband walked out on the old bridge through the grow up path, and checked it out. He handed me the folding chairs, and I took the dog with me, and he said that I will bring the fishing poles, and get them set up. As he was cutting through the path, he encountered one of biggest rattlesnakes he had ever seen, almost stepping on it, and he came out there, and told me time to go, and he was all shook up, and I didn't t know what in the world was wrong...I thought he was having a heart attack. We got the hell out of there! He worked at an old nursery for years, and saw rattlesnakes all the time in the plant beds on the ground. He always told me that they have an odor, and that he usually could smell them. We were lucky that neither one of us got bit. I know that painful for you OMG. Glad you survived that!
