I think you mean "borrow pits" and they're far from the only places roadkill can be found. In fact, they're pretty insignificant compared to total miles of roadway.

A borrow pit is a hole from which soil is 'borrowed' to put elsewhere. A barrow pit is a specialized borrow pit along roadways. True, many roads don't have barrow pits but they still have raised crowns to allow runoff. That water collects along the edges of the road and is wetter than the surrounding ground. Road kill is often in those wetter areas.

Merriam-Webster defines "barrow pit" as "borrow pit."

That's what I said. It's a specialized borrow pit along roadways. A borrow pit can be a gravel pit or any place else where soil/gravel is removed to put somewhere else.

Ringman, I'm honored to have such a devoted follower. But does your wife know about this?

PS, I just posted on the optics forum.

TOM,

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed reading your experiences. I am sure you and others really saw something you couldn't explain. I wonder if these sightings are glimpses into the past or the future. Maybe a spot in time that isn't our present. It could explain some of the lack of physical evidence. I would never say it was impossible for them to be hiding somewhere unseen. Heck, 20 years ago I would have said you were crazy if you saw a ghost. Now I know better.

They are very vocal. At night they can be heard for a Mile. They moan, whoop,whistle,and howl like a wolf. They also scream like a woman.

Well, it'd stand to reason there be women big feet out there. Probably like their hair pulled.
