The area I live in is known as the Driftless Area...the area of western Wisconsin, southeastern Minnesota, and northeastern Iowa relatively untouched by the last glacier. The gigantic ice sheet that covered most of the upper U.S. did not bulldoze the area like other places. That left a lot of limestone and sandstone hills and bluffs. Those are great places for rattlesnakes.

Some years ago one nationally known snake expert I talked to at a nature hike in the area said it was one of the best places in the country to find rattlers. So we went out on a hike on one of the bluffs in the area.

As we just entered a relatively treeless part of the bluff called a goat prairie, he walked up to a boulder, looked a bit underneath, took out his snake stick, and pulled out two rattlers. I'm glad when I hiked the bluffs frequently when I was younger that I never stuck my hand underneath a large rock.
