p/s: Through Wednesday morning, 80 motorcycle riders have died on South Carolina roads in 2021....

Especially watching for deer!

Always cool and is close in for us.
As the years go by, seems like people use it for a byway for travel to
Asheville or Boone to parts further on either way. Thus speeds go up.
Tailgating and illegal passing are becoming more common. Collisions with
animals and vehicles seem to increase more every year.
