Default Re: I almost died today

Just outside Badlands Nat'l Park (in South Dakota, for those that don't know), a friend was driving me and another friend. We'd spent the day in the park, and were going back to our house in Wall, and it was full dark by this time. We were doing maybe 70-80.

I was in the passenger seat, and hardly had enough time to register the cow in the road, much less react. The cow was black, the night was black, and I have no idea how it got out of the fenced areas. Luckily, the driver was a bit quicker than I was and slammed on the brakes and swerved. We did a couple 360s before coming to a stop, and how we managed to avoid rolling I'll never know.

Easily one of the most frightening experiences in my life.
