Williams was heaven for officers' brats: a whole desert full of

Didn't you play with the rattlesnakes? My BIL took me dove hunting near
there a couple years back and we saw a few of them.

Never saw one that I remember. I'm sure there were plenty, but they're
mostly active at night in the desert, I believe.

That's true during the heat of the summer, but in Spring and Autumn they're
more active during the day. It has to do with regulating their body temp or
something.
