That part of 26 you were on sure is a tempting place to speed! You guys do a pretty good job keeping your roads in good shape! Say -- how fast was that Impala going?

Impala = 86 in a 60.
I'll admit, that portion of Interstate does make you want to speed. (It was 55MPH when they first opened it) But did you notice the dead deer on the shoulder down at the 9mm? That was the level portion just before you started up the first major grade.
We get some bad deer and bear wrecks up there. I'm not saying that's what set the speed limit, but man do we get some bad animal strikes. They called me for one on a Saturday morning near the 10mm, female bear and 3 cubs all killed! The interstate looked like a freakin' slaughter house for several hundred yards! Then there was the time the crotch-rocket and the deer collided..........
