The Mojave that almost got me!!

This picture is one reason not to go walking in the deserts of Southern Arizona at night. I stopped the car in the middle of a dark washboard road to look for a bathroom. Well, needless to say I didn't find one so I was standing there doing my thing and when I got done I thought I'd look around to see what was around me. Maybe I should have done that first, oh well. In any event, I pull up the fly, turn on the flashlight and shine it about five feet in front of me. I one step forward and hear something I never like to hear that close. When I look down this guy was coiled up looking at me like one more step is going to cause us both a world of hurt. In any event, luck got me out of there with nothing more then this picture.
