Snakes just are where snakes are supposed to be, Bilbo says. There are bull snakes here and there are rattlesnakes. Generally speaking, the rule of thumb is to go around and don t mess with them. When people come out here, they have to be prepared and be heads-up at all times. Take that mountain bike off the back of your SUV, head out into a deserted area of the playa, close your eyes and just start pedaling.
