That section is actually a 2wd road that I and others have been on many times before. The problem can be speed as you are going down hill and there is 2 way traffic. Not saying that was the problem in this case. Really pretty stuff to look at and no guard rail.

Yeah when we did that trail there was a loud thump thump thump coming from my explorer-- I thought it was going to blow up--- but no - it was Curtis and Dennis throwing snowballs-- really had me rattled at first. :-) Tthen we met up with a guy in a 1 ton dodge dually- who blew a tranny line. He was on a first date and the girl with him was rattled she road with one of us back to civilization. I think she had a friend and she did as well. Memborial trail was my favorite for the longest time.

6- just because they are dead doesn't mean they aren't there- the only ones that shouldn't be counted would be the ones that swam away. (which don't know how they can swim away in a tank-- maybe they had uber?)

So many “gotchas” in the fish riddle. How does a fish drown in the tank? Where did the ones swim away to? Are the dead fish still in the tank? And then maybe one was a bass and it ate the others.

Found a dead juvenile rat snake caught under the garage door. Wasn’t his lucky day.

Death the only constant-- someday you will die! Do you judge your life by what the are going to say at your funeral or what they say about you now? Me personally don't care much about either- I just try and get a good laugh even if its at personal expense.
