We didn’t see any rattlesnakes that day, but I did my master’s in west Texas and we would see them from time to time.

They can make for some neat photos.

Hope you didn’t have any encounters with the rattlesnakes that are rather common there. Someone also (supposedly) saw a Gila Monster at Kilbourne’s Hole, years ago. I seem to remember that actually being in print somewhere.

I do have a piece of Kilbourne Hole in mine, as well as another piece of the El Capitan Reef (more specifically the Muleshoe Mound) that you might recognize – see if you can find them.
