I wish you didn't get so close to the rattlesnakes you run into.
When we were floating the Middle Fork Salmon River in Idaho this summer, we had to rout three (count 'em!) rattlers from our campsite one evening before we set up our tents. I wonder how many we didn't see...? Here in Pennsylvania, they're mostly restricted to rocky cliffs in the Appalachians, where they are fairly common; I've seen them more than once along the Appalachian Trail.
