I bet that was in 1995? Thanksgiving?

 

Yeah,Childress(or anywhere in the panhandle)isn't that far north,but it can get cold,and ugly,at times.


Yeah,there are hog warning signs along 82,from Seymour,to Lubbock. Sometimes,there is a whole family running from one side of the road to the other.

I remember the first time that I drove across I-40 in northern Arizona. I saw a sign that threw me completely off. I was like,Whoa!,what in the world was on that sign?! :shock: I saw another one a little while later. I never actually got a good look at it. I finally got on the radio and asked. Someone told me they were elk signs.."Lots of elk out here,driver" what someone said. The rest of the day,I was like, :shock:

 

Not sure of the year but it was around then-Power lines were just Drooping and it was like that almost all the way north to the Interstate.
I was empty coming into Childress but I had a Full load by the time I got there :P
Yep-Panhandle can get wicked-Specially the Winds of Armadillo :P

 

counted 8 deer pancakes on the last 20miles going into Wilmington last week, but where i see the most are when it gets dark on I-85 between Columbus and Atlanta, they are everywhere in the middle and on the sides, last time i tried counting them all and lost count around 50, no joke.

Other than an owl, bat and two squirrels (suicidal little bastards)just wasnt their day, I have been pretty lucky.

 

We have wild burro and horse signs around here.

 

Just made a run from Greensboro, NC to Omaha, NE (during the snowstorm) - there were tons of dead deer along the road side. Some of the more recent kills looked like red paint bombs that hit the concrete pavement and stretched out over a 100+ feet long.
