Observation notes: First thing I saw was a great Big Rattle Snake, It was cold and I could not get it to move or rattle at me so I had to go way off the trail and around it. Cool day mid sixty at the most with cool breeze night had been another cold one. Clouds were not very far away. Fog and may gray been hugging the coast keeping it cool most days. 5-6 of these several other species.
