1.5 hours: 2 animals, 0 cars

My drive back to Knoxville last night was fun. I left around 2:45a.m and I didn't see another car until about 4:15. Doing the Hellbender and Dragon with a completely wide open road was a blast. Unfortunately, the Mazda 6i isn't exactly my ideal car for the situation.

It's kinda freaky driving for that long and not seeing another living human being. I felt like I needed to trade my 6 for a yellow Ford Falcon XB and put on some leather and grab a shotgun.

I did see living things though. I almost decimated a bobcat. It's about the last thing I expected to see driving home, but I'll be damned if it didn't have a death wish. Then a rabbit decided to race my car... it lost...

I saw a couple wild pigs or boar Friday night walking along the Dragon. Luckily they weren't in the road or my TII would have had pork for dinner.

My ride home was fun too, except for my speeding ticket on the dragon. Dude was sitting there just waiting for me to come around the corner at 59 miles per hour

Yesterday was fun, all for the too much sun on my arms and neck.
