A few weeks ago I did some fishing in a local stream here in New Jersey and was checking out a potential spot for some portable radio activity.
The only issue was the snake warning signs made me think twice. This particular hike might have to wait until the cold weather is here and everyone is tucked in for the winter.
Besides the snakes you have to keep an eye out for the black bears. I could see myself calling cq and hearing a rattle close by.
That might be an issue I would rather not deal with.
