[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 437549, member: 11476"] That is part of the reason that I didn't like del. at nite, TRPL. When I first started I got stuck on the worst rtes there were and had no training on any of them. Most of them were rural rtes. Del. at nite from a map is the worst. We deal with caliche here as well and when it rains...........:sick::anxious:. But, that is only part of it. You guys (and I mean that literally) have an advantage over us gals. Physically you are stronger than I am. I worry (less so now, but it is always at the back of my mind) about all the evil nasty's out there. Side story: Right after I moved into the house that I have now I had to get up and go to work at 3/4am. One morning I was getting into my car and heard this growling behind. LOW AND DEEP! I slowly turned around to find the neighbors dog behind me, head low and ready. I chased the dog off, but it scared me. When I got home that day I went to the neighbor and told them what happened. I also told them that if the dog ever was on my property again they would never see it again. They got rid of the dog shortly after that. The point of this is, I remember that nearly every night I am out delivering. I am not sure what I would/could do if someone or something was hell bent on attacking me. That is why I don't like del at nite. Especially on rural rtes. We have mountain lions in our area and though we rarely see them there have still been numerous attack in az. This year I haven't heard of any attacks because we have had alot rain. [/QUOTE]
