This is the first I have heard of snakebites, and two on the same day? So close together?
I think I will go back to get the Hiker's name.

Rattlesnake warning for CT section of AT

Hey fellow hikers, Most people are unaware that northwest CT has a high population of rattle snakes. Just yesterday there was 2 rescues, one on Sharon Mountain and one on Bear mountain which I was 20 yards behind the thru hiker and evacuated him to the lot where I was parked. This time of year is hot humid and small creeks are dry. Be careful over this way, it's a costly mishap and worse it can cost you your life.
