Sometimes when I'm riding, usually after a big meal, I get this pain in my stomach. I never really know what its from, but it goes away when I poop. I guess the feeling just scares the poop out of me.

Is it me or does it seem that when you hit the kind of road you are talking about that your gas gas gage starts droping faster?

The highway starts getting narrower and narrower. Skies getting darker and darker. Surface getting rougher and scattered with gravel. Trees and woods getting closer and closer to the road. Big *** black cat, or panther or some ****, runs out right in front of me across the road. By this time I'm down from 70mph to about 35-40. Houses turn to trailers and now only every 10 miles or so, with aggressive dogs warning me off. Stopped to look at my map once or twice and I know I'm off the route now but hoping it will come out somewhere on the main highway. Instead this route veered South, and then I see a sign "Montgomery 25 miles." Oh ****! Had to turn around, retrace my route all the way back to the turn off and got home 2 hours late, about 12:30.
I had a foreboding feeling the whole time on that ride, and I'm thinking that's the feeling you're talking about.

I have felt it. A couple times. I leave the place. I don't know what it is, but it seems like something is telling you to get gone. Had it once on a vacation, 7 of us, camping in a Green river canyon. Packed up the babies and grabbed the ol ladies and vamoosed.

Theirs one road that makes me feel like that been on it a couple of times and get the same bad feelings every time to tell you the truth it scares the crap out of me. Wonder if its got any thing to do with the State Patrol headquarters being on that road?

So I usually slow down, let people go by, get super focused, and in a minute or two the feeling goes away...simply say TRUST those instincts...
