All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

This guy was between 5 and 7 feet long. I'm no herpetologist, so I'd love to hear what kind of snake you think it is. I was guessing black racer or rat.
I also saw a huge black bear earlier in the hike. It didn't move when we called out, so that was a little concerning. But eventually, it waddled off after munching on a bunch of vegetation.
All in all, an amazing 10-mile trek through the breezy spring woods.
