Amphibious jog/ hike

I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous weather this afternoon and went for a jog hike. As I was rounding St. Moritz pond I nearly ran over a medium sized snapping turtle. Not sure who was more startled. Then about 10 minutes later at the bottom of rattlesnake hill I encountered a slithery fellow. Probably not a rattler, closer in line to a guarder, but slimy and unpleasant none the less.
