  let me say right off, im a horrible being. due to numerous bad experiences in 
  the backcountry, i hate humans on the trail. i don`t want to hike with them, i 
  don`t want to be around them. that Colin Fletcher guy really gave me a good beating
  until he turned around.

  now i know your human is`nt like the others, im sure it`s kind, friendly 
  and wouldn't hurt a flea. would probably loan me a kidney if i asked. 
  i understand this. i still don`t want to deal with your human.

  to avoid conflicts im planning on sunning myself on the PCT in mid to late may, way after 
  the herd. is their anyone leaving at this time that can`t bear to leave 
  their human at home? i can adjust my schedule either way a few day within reason 
  to avoid conflicts. I'd rather be able to soak up some sun on the trail without having to 
  get wacked by trekking poles (with or without shock absorbers) and eaten.

  Best regards,

  Hiss honorable Rat L. Snake

  P.S. I don't taste good. Really. I taste gamy. Really gamy. Not at all like chicken like y'all are sayin.

  P.S.S. If you want to eat something wild and gamy on the trail that is plentiful and easy to catch, i would suggest 
  the other other white meat - hikertrash. There are a lot more of them than rattlesnakes. Hey it worked 
  well on Donner Pass. Check the local ordinances and park regulations on cannibalism before considering this option. 
  And of course - Leave no Trace!
