No fancy aviation posts here sorry. I was coming back from the forest near Ekalaka, Mt yesterday and saw a sight I hope to quit seeing. My family was also with me this time.
Parts of a tricycle in between Sd and Mt, in Wy (hwy 212), were laying on the highway. As we proceeded passed the trike and suv, there was a covered body. Ive seen this before but a first time for my family. You folks be careful! Look way out in front as we do in aircraft, not the end of the hood, cowl, or fender. The slower you go the more time you have to react. Keep yourself visable and leave space between you and the person in front. If you come up against an eratic driver or a vehicle thats been in some scrapes, give them lots of room! When its our time, its our time, but why rush it?
This looked like an suv pulled on to hwy 212 and the trike collided with it. Could be the trike was going too fast to stop or wasnt looking ahead, and could be the suv was distracted and/or didnt see the trike, or probably a combination of both, for some reasons or another. I have nothing but sympothy for the somber looking highway patrol officers who had to deal with that situation.
Be safe out there if your in the Sturgis area. But the fact is these principals apply to all of our daily endevours.
