Thanks guys! Davis Posted from iPhone Date: 09/21/14 10:37 Re: Hiking around at Martinez, CA Author: TopDog Nice to see some shots from this area, quality ones at that.
Date: 09/21/14 10:55 Re: Hiking around at Martinez, CA Author: wesleygreer Both shots are really sweet, especially the first one.

Nathan Date: 09/21/14 12:37 Re: Hiking around at Martinez, CA Author: hawker95 Fantastic Shots Davis!

Tiger Date: 09/21/14 13:54 Re: Hiking around at Martinez, CA Author: SN711 I agree, great shots. Yes, the poison oak around there is pretty bad but has just about died off now. The hard part is finding a clear space between the trees! I have t tried in a while, but I am glad that you prove there is at least one hole on the trees close to the tracks.

Gary Date: 09/21/14 22:06 Re: Hiking around at Martinez, CA Author: LarryB Just because you didn't see any rattlers doesn't mean there aren't any. I lived in Pleasant Hill/Martinez for many years and can't count all the rattlesnakes I've seen in that area.
Date: 09/22/14 04:43 Re: Hiking around at Martinez, CA Author: PERichardson Last time I shot there, I drove into the church parking lot at the east end of the bridge and there were two dead ones in the lot. Both run over and the rattles cut off.
Date: 09/22/14 08:43 Re: Hiking around at Martinez, CA Author: strench707 Thanks all!
Didn't see any rattlers and I luckily avoided the oak this time around! Davis Posted from iPhone Date: 09/22/14 10:27 Re: Hiking around at Martinez, CA Author: cchan006 strench707 Wrote:
