Anyway as they were moving their trucks from base to base, if they ever came across a boa constrictor lying on the road they were not allowed to run over it, they had to wait for it to cross and if it didn't they waited longer. Because many vehichles had run over them in the past, and it seems the snake curl up and squeezes the vehichle, which actually bent the chassie.
Can you imagine a huge snake lying across the road, and if you run it over it squeeses your truck? kinda scary if you ask me, especially if you don't see it lying there.

On the outskirts of Las Vegas lies a beautiful state park called Red Rock canyon. I was driving through it in a rental car on an overcast day, taking in the amazingly beautiful scenery, when I saw a section of pink garden hose on the road ahead of me. I was amazingly pissed...after all, what kind of pig would leave trash in a national park? I started to complain about this to my wife as I drove closer. Ten feet from it, it started to move. As I drove past it, it reared up and struck at the driver's side door of the car. By the time I realized what had just happened, I was 20 feet past it and watching it disappear into the brush from my rear-view mirror...
