Ill always remember that smart Beaver in Tennessee!

We started driving the rest of the way to Idaho round 1:30 this morning.
Saw the brightest shooting star Ive ever seen, it was going great until
a bunch of jack rabbits started deciding it would be fun to cross the
road when were close to them. Well we hit two and both times I felt bad.
I know it happens all the time, but dang I just hate the sound and its
a very distinct sound when you hit!
Im wondering why those jack rabbits haven't figured out that if they wait
a few minutes they'll live? Ya know its not that difficult. Like when we
were in Tennessee last summer, it was one of the hottest days record setting
actually, we got two blowouts in 3 hours. It was annoying!
Anyways when we were waiting for the road side assistant guys for the
second and final blowout, guys, they were very busy that day so it was
awhile before they got there. Well I saw a Beaver come out of the woods
across the interstate headed to the water on the other side.
We thought it was just going to cross like any other animal out there not
caring if a vehicle is coming or not and get hit!
but much to our surprise that little guy or girl whatever actually waited
for the cars to pass before crossing! It was amazing!
It looked like the beaver was waiting at a cross walk that only it knew about
until the sign said walk lol
when it headed back to the wooded area it did the same thing, just waited patiently!
So from what we witnessed that day, I think these animals out there gotta
know that vehicles can kill them, or at least thats what I think they know...ok
maybe it was just that smart little beaver!
Smarty he'll always be to me! ok maybe Im just a little crazy for thinking that?
Were in Ontario,OR and in case you were wondering the weather is BEAUTIFUL today!
were going to be headed to Milwaukee,WI tomorrow.
Should be a great trip hey the miles are real good!!!
so until m next blog heres to keeping the shining side up
and hoping those animals out there smartin up and look both ways before
crossing to the other side :)
