Creepy roads. That freak you out.

That 70 mile stretch of two lane between Cape Girardeau and Paducah. Pretty sure I saw a Bigfoot.

 

I could not see too many things that are memorable. One morning in US 287 south on the Kit Carson road it's foggy and rather bad weather. Down to my cab level in spots. So... that's interesting.

I hear Apaches the Longbow military choppers a group of them. Then being alone I really heard them. I got to thinking you know... they see me through this soup and held my speed etc.

20 minutes later they rewarded me with a sunrise foggy fly by at about 50 feet or so in a diamond. Left to right at my speed forward.

I don't know anything. Just rolling towards that breakfast. But I felt such a target. as I sometimes do when things go a certain way.

 

Middle of nowhere texas , pull over to check straps and tarp, 3am havent seen a car in about 45 minutes.. Lots of noises out there in the texas desert. Im afraid of the dark

 

Can't believe nobody has mentioned driving between Fort Stockton and Del Rio, TX in the middle of the night. Talk about deserted and desolate.

 

Agreed. I've never never seen so many deer standing on the side of the road - like a 100 or so per mile. One time a huge owl flew right in front of my windshield - scared me to death.

 

I like them deserted roads I guess. I used to run the Casssier in Northern Bc, beautiful drive day or night, especially while the northern lights were dancing. I have been down it when they had just dug a trail out with a front end loader and the sides of snow was taller than my stacks, like driving through a tunnel.
There was always low traffic, and few businesses at all, but at one time it got down to one open business that was not trucker friendly at all. A helicopter ski resort, on the whole 450 mile road.
One run, I met two trucks only and they were on the south end going to a mine. The bridges were one lane and a narrow lane at that back then. now it is no more fun. Most of it is paved, yellow liones in the road guard rails in places, two lane bridges and every body and their dog drives down it since it has been sissified. lol

 

Not a road but... any well location in southeast New Mexico in the early am. You climb up the tank to sample and gauge it. Turn around to climb down the stairs and dozens of jack rabbits surround the tanks and stare at you like you're the juiciest steak on the buffet.

 

It was not creepy, but I delivered a load north of barstow at ft Irwin one summer. When I was unstrapping my load a flock of some kind of little birds flew under my stepdeck and stayed in the shade, hufing and puffing, they did not care what I did, and didn't come out till I moved the truck. lol

 

I think they feed the deer at the checkpoint going north out of Del Rio, always lots of them there. I hunted between Rock Springs & Del Rio for about 5 years, you’ll here some strange noises in that country at night. As far as roads that I’ve been on, 180 coming out of AZ down through Silver City, NM at night w/snow changing to rain was kinda spooky. Not a single vehicle till I hit Silver City.

 

Not really creepy, actually pretty neat, but a couple of weeks ago I got is some good ice fog and visibility was almost nonexistant, so slowed to 20 or a little more. A herd of caribou were crossing the road, I got stopped to where you could barely make them out, it kind of looked like ghosts crossing the road.
