Findley Night Ride

It is starting to get dark earlier now.  I headed out about 8:15 and darkness was falling fast.  I climbed fairly quickly up Findley tonight right at 31 minutes to the top.  Most of the climb was in the dark.  On the way down I saw a black tail sticking up in the air, right on the edge of where my light could reach.  I slowed down to soon realize it was a Skunk.  I went slowly along the road hoping that it would veer off into the brush.  Unfortunately it just walked along the road for probably 3/4 of a mile.  Finally it decided to leave and I was able to get down the mountain.  I think I would like to get a more powerful light to pick up on these critters a little more quickly!
