Pulled over in Pine Valley

I'm sure Jean will post all the good pics and such, so here is just a quick little story. 5:45 in the morning and ya don't want to get stuck on the trail in a bad situation, so one more quick trip to the bathroom. The big time craps. The worst a girl could imagine and there it was. What to do? We were following McKay out to the trailhead which was about 45 minutes away, we didn't know the way. So we passed several convenience stores and gas stations in St. George with a woeful look in our eyes. (okay, only in mine) So we get to the trailhead and panic is setting in. So I ask, hey how big is the town of Pine Valley, hoping for at least one gas station. Jon Fuller says, did you see it when we drove through, it's about that big. Sweet. So Jon and Becky are the only ones there and so we decided to hop in the car and make a quick drive to the nearest gas station. We drive through the town and nuth. We ask a runner and he says in Vejo (sp?) which is down the road. So we take off going as fast as we can possibly go. (which is pretty fast cuz we were in the saab) Within 2 miles we pass Don and Raq, Steve and Neil, Heber and clan, which was everyone that we were waiting for and we just waved and kept going. Turns out Vejo is about 15 to 20 miles away. We were going over 100 mph, passing cars like they were standin still. Do do do do do do. Anyway, we found a gas station and every man in the sweet town of Vejo watched me make my purchase. Then we went back as fast as we could possibly go. We came upon 2 deers. One veered left, one veered right. I slammed on the brakes and everything in the car slid to the front. We missed that deer by about a 1/2 inch (for real). Pounding hearts and we were off again. We raced back to Pine Valley and 45 minuntes later finally got to the trailhead and as you can imagine, everyone was standing around with their hands up in the air. What in the world were you guys doing? You can imagine Neil the best. So the plan was to just say we had an emergency that we needed to stop for. Well we get out of the car and Jean immediately throws me under the bus.
She starts pointing at me. Neil comes over to find out what happened and we say we had an emergency stop we had to make. He says: enough said and walks over to everyone else and says, they had to make an emergency stop and they are excused and that is all you need to know. (then he told us that all his daughters had theirs last year) Anyway, fun start to an awesome trip.
Oh ya, I got pulled over going out of Pine Valley the town on our way home on Saturday for going 41 in a 25. I got a warning. (3 days before that I was going at least 70 in that exact same spot)
