Plane, truck collide. No injuries. Elk still at large

Wonder if his insurance agent is a gecko

CODY -- Cliches and vehicles collided in the South Fork Valley on Sunday when pilot William Johnsey learned firsthand that no good deed goes unpunished, and any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

Johnsey struck a Wyoming Game and Fish truck while trying to land to tell biologist Mark Bruscino about a herd of elk he had seen from the air. Neither man was injured.

Johnsey had been flying a Piper Super Cub 150 for the Hoodoo Ranch, checking on cattle in the area.

"We've got about 370,000 acres," Johnsey said. "So it's kind of hard to cover it all with just horses."

Miles of miles of miles and miles and he managed to hit the guy's truck. Some days it doesn't pay to gnaw through the straps. ;)

1. Isn't it wierd how that happens.

Middle of the nite, two cars on the street and they manage to hit each other. It is just the oddest thing.

3. The first ever car accident, I believe, was in Ohio

and on a highway, with both drivers headed towards each other at what was probably 15 mph each, and neither of them stopped.

5. And, thus, Chicken was invented

Perhaps they were both so stunned at the sight of oncoming traffic...
