The night drives are never boring............

I broke my own rule tonight - dinner with family in the valley at a time that put me on the road home after 9:00pm.

  • North of Osoyoos, AIM truck blocking a lane - couldn't see any reason other than possibly dealing with an animal on the road
  • Above McCuddy Creek Ranch - "campfire" outside an RV - decided it was probably a propane pit set a little high, as the property owners would be careful on that one
  • Above Mica Creek Road - "stuff" at the side of the road
  • in the canyon "stuff" at the side of the road
  • near the top on the Baldy end of the canyon - a truck and trailer driver side wheels on the road, passenger side wheels over the edge
  • Guy with headlamp smoking in the middle of the road - I only dropped my window enough to speak to him, I asked twice, and he did not want me to make a call for him
  • he's waiting down there for a 4x4 with a chain  to come along - I didn't get out of the truck, but it looked to me like a more challenging recovery 
  • He said the contents of his storage locker was in the truck and trailer - I told him some of his stuff was on the road
  • He has enough "stuff" and it was 10C down there, so he won't get too cold sitting there all night
