9000 mile mark and deer


So yesterday was the big day! I was going to Mike and Sara's for babysitting in Riverwoods. I left home and had 8995 miles. I got to about Sanders and Walters when my car hit the big 9-0-0-0 mark. I took the pictures and drove the rest of the way to Mike and Sara's. When on Saunders, I saw a deer about ten feet from my car. I stopped and took pictures. She looked a little out of place with the Jeep and the house in the backround. I took two pictures. The first one is a close up of the doe and the second one shows just how close she was to the street. I took that one normal. It's kind of scary how close she was. Then after Mike and Sara got home, I was driving back down Saunders and I think I saw the same doe. I didn't take pictures this time because it was late and I wanted to get home. She was in a different place but really close to the street. I had my brights on and saw her before she did anything. I drove by cautiously but she didn't move. Then about one mile down the road, I saw a skunk. It was animal night. I guess that's what happens when you are driving at 12:40 at night.

Another milestone!

Still gotta get a pic while moving ;-)

Yea, it's odd when you see a deer not in a designated wildlife area. It's like when a deer was roaming around my neighborhood and went beside my house.
