I was doing the speed limit coming out of the Occoee white water basin. I went there to ride my Rambler All Terrain Tadpole trike up the Big Frog access road.
A gain of 730 ft in altitude spread over 2.1 miles on the roughest gravel with boulders not maintained 4x4 only road you ever saw.
Yeah Iām comfortable in the hurt locker.
The down hill run on the return is shear terror.
I love it so.
65 mph,
Pink Floyd, Great Gig In the Sky playing on the B&O. I was thinking about the two hotties I came up on skinny dipping in the Occoee river.
BAM,
I center punched the girl killing her instantly.
She shot forward and I hit the throttle full power.
To maintain my momentum In the direction of the road.
Getting knocked of course at those speeds can be deadly.
I ran over her dead ass. It was like hitting soft speed bumps.
I am so glad I had a 121 inch wheel base vehicle around me.
I looked in my mirrors and watch her dead ass spin and cartwheel behind me.
All kinds of shit lit up and started singing on the dash.
The hood was up about four inches but holding.
My water temp gage was stable and not rising.
I had a mile and a half to get home. I rolled on at 55 mph. Water temp remained stable, the truck felt fine and I was still showing the normal four temp bars.
My climb up to my house is about 2 10ths of a miles with three switch backs. I rounded the first turn, now my temp gage had five bars.
Rounded turn two, six bars.
Made turn three with all the white bars lit but no red yet.
I parked it and shut her down.
You wonāt believe this !
No, Nada, Zip, No paint or sheet metal damage at all.
Go figure.
My rental is an almost new piece of crap
Mitsubishi SUV something.
The AWD and the center lock are complete crapola.
This thing feels, looks, drives like a cheap plastic toy.
And itās slow.

Wow, what a crazy story!! Glad you kept it straight and made it home safe! It's unbelievable that there's zero exterior sheet metal body damage after a Deer hit!! Good luck dealing with that cheap plastic rental until you get your truck back!
Glad youāre ok.
