On Saturday I was setting markers on the Calleva race O-course. As I approached wetland near one of CPs, I've seen three (!) of these nice snakes just six feet away from the CP. One big and two small Copperheads were catching sunlight that penetrates through a dense vegetation of thick, wet forest. I moved this CP 10 feet away into a shade of a big tree. It is harder to see now, but safer for the racers. On Sunday good friend of mine was vetting the course and saw no snakes. The final pre-run of the course will be in two weeks. We got very good and fast team to do it. Updates will follow.
