Cows in the road

At least you saw them coming. Last time I dealt with cows in the road, it was 3. Yep, just 3. But it was 1am and I was on a familiar country road on the way home. Long straightaway, gentle down hill to a narrow bridge. But something wasn't right, like I was looking into a black hole. Slowed way down, brain skewed from the confusion.

3 black cows standing on the bridge. Coulda been a really bad day. During daylight it's not unusual for "someone" to hit 110 crossing that bridge. Then there was the dookie in the road....

A Jeep Patriot. Car was totaled, but husband and wife were uninjured. The woman was my nurse. She said she had a crock-pot full of meatballs in marinara sauce on her lap. When the car came to a halt there was meat and sauce all over the interior. She thought her husband had exploded and was certainly dead.

Be careful of the states with open range. If you get smoked by a cow in one of those unfortunate places you are S.O.L.

I had a similar cow experience on HWY 3 north of Trinity Lake in northern California heading North going over Scott Mountain. Came around a 180 degree turn to find a heard of about 200 cattle being driven up the road with no warning what-so-ever. It was a minefield of sh*t to navigate through after for about 4 miles.

These can be pretty nasty too. These were between Watson Lake, Yukon Territories and Fort Nelson, BC
