Years ago when I was doing archaeology in Colorado, I crossed paths with a rattle snake. Fortunately for me, the snake slid over my foot rather than my stepping on it. Otherwise, I fear that I would have got bitten and hospitalized like that expat lady, or worse! :OYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-32287554054486415872017-01-27T17:16:38.197+08:002017-01-27T17:16:38.197+08:00Hi There,

According to available maps it is less than 1 km before reaching Sham Wam beach. I think it is much overgrown now.<br /><br />The snake I encountered decades ago was a Coelognathus radiatus which didn't seem to be poisonous. It was a bit more than a metre long and as thick as a child's arm.<brAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-84175038615218272392017-01-26T20:42:44.918+08:002017-01-26T20:42:44.918+08:00Hi T --

I must admit to being wary of going along orange dotted (i.e., indistinct and/or difficult) trails in the area as I've read about someone having died while hiking up (or maybe down?) Mount Stenhouse. <br /><br />Oh, and the day I took the YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-53328456506463620452017-01-25T23:16:12.895+08:002017-01-25T23:16:12.895+08:00Hi There,

Sham Wan had been earmarked for green sea turtle reserve for quite a while but strange enouigh, the Government seemed only have marked the beach as a closed district. The bay is still opened for boats. Maybe because of this (and the engine noise) most green sea turtles had not Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
