You never know what you might find out in the woods. Amongst the fissures or geological fractures in the rock, you could find an old safe and ask yourself “how did this get here”. It could have been dragged out there to be shot open. Use your imagination to run wild. As you’re daydreaming WATCH OUT FOR SNAKES! This is a great place to see the harmless garter snake. Garter snakes are often found in leaf matter on the forest floor in search of salamanders and worms. Remember it’s all in the name.
