Many just froze, some ran away.. then some started coming toward the car. I'd slow down. My dad said "Drive". I lost count somewhere around 50 thumps and I know I was afraid to drive at night for eons because of it. My brother slept through it all. His comment when I told him... "Well at least the car is red."
Damn jackrabbits!

That would scare the shit out of me... especially young. This trip was relaxing and beautiful... almost no cars anywhere, for almost the entire Nevada to Cali State line stretch at least I'd maybe pass a car every 5-10 minutes, otherwise just black road, beautiful stars and landscape. Felt surreal compared to the normal day time drive. I think I'm going to have to do it again soon and actually make a few stops to shoot a little. The thought crossed my mind to stop at Calico and jump the dinky lil fence to get a few night shots, maybe next time
