That is frightening. Especially, since that one was young. They can’t control their venom and will inject too much. Thank you for taking us along..✌️🙂❤️

Good job 6 states, good video with some good views, bad news a copperhead 😮, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[claytonbatten]

Young copperhead. Very dangerous. They are very venomous!! Timber rattlers are too. Where you see one there is more. Both love rocks. Exspecially when it’s warm out. Please be careful and aware. Great video. Watching from the beginning

The scary thing about copperheads is that if they are in amongst leaves and whatnot, they are very difficult to see. Even with your brother pointing at it and saying, it's right there! Still didn't see it, but it was all I could think about the rest of the day. I mean, if I can't see them . . .

I have had 2 encounters with copperheads like that.Both times they scared me.I have never saw a pretzel that big.It looked good.

Congrats in knocking out MD
Something I found is the they make different inserts with plastic. They seem to work on rocks
Best of luck

Annapolis Rocks... Beautiful, but water too far.... Copperhead acrobatics 🥰👍🤓👍😂

Copperheads can be nasty annoyances. I can't believe that the father wouldn't help you.
Glad that you are in the north now. You are hiking strong and moving along just fine. I hope that your feet are getting better. Welcome to my home state. Do not worry about the rocks, as I told Soap, the rocks end at Katahdin.😬

The bug may have been a cicada in one of its many forms

Never thought to make tea with clover, when I am out walking, I bring them back to my bunnies.

[tomellis]

You are amazing. Praying for your feet to heal. Back in the world what did you do to make a living? ❤😊

[TomG]

I like that you know about plants and stuff. I learn something! Thanks for the vids!

[BucksMom]

Oh summon your inner patience w rocks- the whole northeast is rocks. 🥾🥾🥰⛺️🌸😎

[DarrellSampson-sm]

Hello Sassafras, .you are doing great! Hope the foot pain is getting better. Happy hiking❤

Fun fact: the words "insult" and "injury" have essentially switched meanings as the English language has evolved. "Injury" (in-jury) originally meant an injustice (and still does in legalese), whereas an "insult" originally meant a blow or strike.

[williamlepse]

Thank God you saw it, could you imagine if it was wrapped up in your hip let and you put the pack on?

I Suck at Hiking found great swimming at 3 lakes in Maryland

[KenFernbach]

Hey things are looking up, little waste of time from a copperhead, but got through and should be not so many rocks in this section if I got it right, so a chance to maybe be able to walk somewhat normal and heal a bit before the real rock section tests your patience- please remember to take it all at your very own safe pace- our prayers are with you to enjoy! So enjoy the day Sass🏃‍♀️🌲🍄🚴🏼‍♂️🧘🏼🌱🌿🙏

Dear One, I check my boots for the Brown Recluse spider before putting them on.
