re: Post your GDCK stories.

I was 4-wheeling with a friend on some TVA land up near Land Between the Lakes in TN. He's a little ways ahead of me and I hear him start cussing up a storm over the radio. I asked if he was alright. He radios back that I'll see in a minute. I roll up and he has run over the biggest rattlesnake I have ever seen. It wasn't particularly long by snake standards, maybe 6', but he was fat. Like bicep fat. And he had a head the size of my hand. Anyways, my friend had managed to rightly piss him off by rolling over him. He was coiled up and rattling. I picked up my right leg and put it on the left side away from the rattlesnake and roll past. As I roll past, he strikes at the 4-wheeler as I'm guessing the engine heat was a nice target. I see his fangs and they are massive. I about shite myself.

I used to be cool with snakes before that encounter, but since then I've had the fear of Jesus put in me.
