Up until I read this, I always thought the timber rattler northermost reaches was the Mt. Tom range in Holyoke MA. I grew up at the base of Mt. Tom at my grandparents place in Easthampton MA. I use to ride my Mt Bike down the trails and lugged many a bag of wreath making greens! I guess my grandmother was the first to take me (make me!!!) hike up a mt side. There were always snake dens up on the cliffs that U Mass had protected and were studying.
