Houston - We Have a Problem

Beat Boards I did of a memory when I visited Houston for the first time.

My friends and I were in Houston, and we decided to talk a nice walk along a creek. As we are heading back, one of us suggests walking over a log that seemed "sturdy enough".

We reach the end, and we are met with a wall of shrubbery. My friend decides to get off the log to see if there was a good way up.

He disappears for a bit, and as we make it to land, he comes back running back, frantic.

He had stepped on a water moccasin and had woken it up. It calmly, slides towards the creek, about 2-3 feet from our feet, and disappears into the water. It was a close call, as we later find out that these snakes are quite venomous.
