Another fantastic spotting, shebebusynow! Please consider adding it to the "Reptiles of the Pacific Northwest" mission! :) We love our snakes!

Cool! We'll probably recognize each other's spottings, then.

Up the coast a couple hours or so, but I come through Port Orford a couple times a year.

Thanks for the tip, Ashley, and I'll look for more of my snake pix for them.
