I was born and raised in the mountain west, and took many trips foaming out in the sticks, and deep in the woods collecting firewood with my dad. I never saw a single snake in the wild until I moved to PA, where I came across one swimming across a lake that I was boating on, and another in my basement(!), a garter snake coiled up amongst the power cord of a tool in my shop. Lonely, I guess.
