A really strange thing happened this evening...

[colbystephens]

Claire and I were on a ride in the Blazer up in the mountains this evening. It was completely dark as we were coming down the mountain on terribly bumpy service roads.

All of a sudden I saw another light on the ground next to us. I looked all around and couldn't see another truck. Then I looked up and a helicopter was circling us (I couldn't hear it due to the bouncing), and it put its spot light on us and followed us for 15 seconds or so, and then took off.

You sure feel damn helpless with a chopper following you. You can't see them because of their light being so bright, and they have all the power. It really ticked me off. I was totally within my legal rights to be where I was, doing what I was doing, and I should not have been bothered by the copter.

No pics of wheeling, but I got a nice one of the sunset:

could be looking for poachers as hunting season is going on in lots of states right now and they do use planes and choppers to spot them. could be search and rescue looking for someone reported missing in that area. could be looking for pot growers hell it could be any number of things.

Ive been "looked over" a number of times, by the ghetto bird.
In the city, its just a fact of life.

One time, we had a chopper shine its light on us in the middle of nowhere at night.
On the highway between Fallon, Nv and Sand Mountain.

We were in The Beast, figured they just wanted to see it.
It was a military looking bird.
And that rig was Urban Camo as F*ck.
