Supposedly there is a really big one straight east from Stansbury Park near some Native American glyphs.
From what I understand, they aren't particularly uncommon, it's just rare to be in the right place at the right time.

Iv been in that area, never saw a den, but I swear! SWEAR there were several rattle snakes that got up, 3 feet high, most their body's off the ground looking around above that damned cheat grass, and I SWEAR they chased us.
3 at first and before I got out of there 5 total.
I try to not kill snakes, I like snakes, but if I had a pistol on me at that time, Id of blasted the bastards to pieces.
I do hate rattle snakes :D I try to let any with no teeth and venom go on their merry way.
I did not see any glyphs, but Id bet I was in the right area, nearly due east from adobe rock, just across the highway and slightly north of stansbury park.
I grew up in that area (Tooele) and never had heard of any drawings or anything in those hills. Not to say they are not there, just that I never heard of em, give me a few more clues and Ill go looking for them though.

Do you geocache? I can get you really close and tell you where to find the exact coordinates. Go here GCNX7Z.

Check out this bad boy......... WOW. This was sent to me via e-mail with info saying it was 9 ft. 1" long, and close to 100 lbs. - located at the old Wendover military base. Don't know how true it is or not, but that is one impressive snake. :eek2:

That behemoth is the venerable Eastern Diamondback. It could be anywhere from Florida to the OBX, but Wendover it aint. Probably 12-15 lbs. and 7 feetish. There was a truck stop in Georgia that had one about that size in a big aquarium.
I don't particularly fear snakes, but stumbling upon that thing in the woods I believe I might soil myself. :eek2:

I dont! but Id like to get into it! gps purchase has been low on my list though, too much other stuff I need, like food and gas, restoring a motorhome,graduation presents for the one that just finished, plane tickets for my 2 oldest sons to hit washington to see my dad next month, and currently trying to arrange a lease on a commercial site in tooele to set up stuff that tooele has never seen.
If that goes through in the next 3 months or so Ill be posting it on here, and give a Bogley rate.
GS is on my list, just not at the top.
I do know that area pretty well though, Im thinking between the coordinates and google earth, I might be able to put myself pretty damned close to it and wander around and find it.
