Talk about blinding! I couldn't see where I was going!! If a deer had jumped out, I would have hit it, and they would have hit me because I couldn't see.

Hwy 2 is a highway with two lanes in each direction so these monstrosities could easily have passed me. I couldn't figure out why on earth they wouldn't. Sometimes I'd have to slow way down before they'd finally go roaring past me.
I turn my mirror to point back at them and out of my eyes.
