Thanks to the recent weather from hurricane Sandy, most of the leaves have blown off the trees covering the trails at West Point on the Eno...making it almost impossible to spot a copperhead! As I was walking on the Buffalo trail over the weekend, I stepped inches away from the snake in the picture. I didn’t see it until I heard a rustling in the leaves beside my foot. When I looked down and realized what I almost stepped on, I found myself thanking the snake for its quick reflexes and choice to flee!
