[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3299766, member: 5412"] First time traveling on I-70 to a snow ski resort in Colorado, I had to work overtime so didn't get away until 2am. I drove North to Wichita and couldn't stay awake any longer so gave the wheel to the wife that had been sleeping. Somewhere around western KS. I woke up to a surreal scene of giant snowflakes and mule deer, everything going in circles. I remember one deer seemingly looking in the window at me before getting the senses together and realizing we were in a 360 degree skid. Wife came up on a group of them with quarter sized snowflakes falling crossing the road, hit the brakes and went into a slide. We went in a full circle around a couple that just stood there before coming to a stop. Never hit any of them. I drove the rest of the way on adrenaline. Couple years later I got a call at work that she had hit a deer not far from our house. After being assured she was OK even though she was crying, jumped into the truck and went to the scene. She had hit a buck, spun 180 degrees in the road, sliding into the ditch in the opposite direction. When getting there asked again if she was ok and was assured she was. Why were you crying? Apparently two guys in a pickup saw it happen, pulled up to the scene, jumped out, cut the head off the buck and left the scene, never checking to see if the wife was OK. She was crying because she had killed the deer and had to watch them do that. [/QUOTE]
