63° already at this early part of the morning.
I used to catch all kinds of snakes and lizards when younger. It' amazes some to learn that rattle snakes can live at above 6,000 feet in elevation and the winters run in the minus tens and twenties. In fact there was a highway feature of a rock outcropping about ten miles north of town that Caltrans named rattle snake curve, because at some point they were doing some work on the rocks to mitigate rocks falling onto the highway and they uncovered a den of rattlers.
