Interesting rides lately

This morning there was a small (4" diameter) dead tree (covered with vines) completely across the road on the way in. I stopped and moved it. A half a mile later, there were at least 4 deer slowly ambling across the road. They didn't seem too concerned by me, so I had to stop and let them cross. A couple of miles later there was a skunk that started across the road, saw me and decided to turn around and wait on the shoulder until I got past. As a car was overtaking me at the time, that probably saved him.

I've seen a lot of wildlife lately. But that could just be due to going in earlier.
