A slightly bit odorous

Early morning haul at work, sand to a concrete plant near Wentzville as they open gates at 5. Had preloaded so sand started freezing to be walls and had to ‘shave that away, but not the issue. On to New Melle stone for Ag Lime load back to Rhineland MO, followed a group of rock haulers across scale at ticket office where one turned to the route I would be following.

A little cb chatter as followed Femme Osage RD from quarry then the call out, ‘fella behind me, try to avoid the piles on the road!’ Thinking WTH? He is still reasonably close but hit Hi Beams anyway, then the spot showed up.

Lane and a half wide blood guts and hides all wadded and scattered and seeming to be multiple critters, no way to avoid much of it, then second call out ‘gonna be nasty, was a family of skunks’ then the aroma hit. Fella expanded was at least two larger animals and a few smaller ones, was no way to avoid and hit them all. His truck was making him feel ill from the smell then he turned off. I dealt with the remnant odor of splatter and small pieces until finished the day, washed the grime out of wheel wells and off the chassis best as could in 40 degree weather, just NASTY!!
