Deer story - late one evening I was driving north on Hwy 97 south of 100 Mile House, trying to make time so was driving very late, near midnight. A pickup pulled out to pass me, so I slowed down to let him go by. He got back in the northbound lane in front of me and all of a sudden he swerved hard towards the ditch and his truck rolled. A deer had jumped in front of him and he had swerved to avoid it. But he didn't - deer died and his truck was wrecked. Some spirit was taking care of me on that trip - if the truck hadn't passed me I could have been the one to hit the deer.

Sue.T the same thing happened to me except I was the one who just passed a Ford Pinto. I had a choice of hitting a concrete bridge or a cow, cow lost. It totaled a full size Buick Electra. It would probably killed or seriously hurt the person in the Pinto. The Pinto driver contacted the sheriff for me (before cell phones) and was very grateful. The Cattle company paid for my car because I could prove negligence on there part. There was 3 prior accidents, one was a fatality.

I do think it is amusing that some people think their needs trump someone else's needs. Agree completely about not staying in Comercial camp grounds. Love small out of the way places beside a lake, slice of heaven.
