Saw a dead body today...
Aug 12^th, 2009, 2:28pm

Was doing my interval training for my coach, and mapping one of my Big Cow Bent routes. I was on the clear fork trail and saw a white minivan, police, and a man lying face up. Thought the cops were arresting someone and about to cuff him until they covered his head with a sheet. Then I saw the crime scene tape and the CSI unit. They were still there on my way back and I unfortunately got a closer look. He was wearing a suit. I dunno any details and not sure I want to know. Made my ride a very eerie thing.

He could have been sleeping, kinda like dogs and cats tend to do in the middle of the road

Reply #6 - Aug 13^th, 2009, 9:04am There is so much stuff going on, and only a small precentage o this type of thingmakes the news any more. To make the news it probalbly has to be something high profile, during a period high news articles. The more high profile news sthere is the less you hear about this knd of thing. Tom
