The bloody knife story reminds me of a time when I had to go herping alone. I couldn't find anyone to go out with, so decided to try the 190 cuts between Iraan and 305. Shined the cuts on the South side, then proceeded up the North. After walking up the hill towards the picnic area, a big ravine exists with trees around it. I was walking down the boulders when I came across a shoe, some bloody pant pieces, and mangled truck parts. Nearby was a cross signifying someone had lost thier life there. Was definitely weird, so I decided not to walk the rest of the night and just cruised the area.



In '05 I talked to a local paramedic in Iraan who told me of the accident. A trucker lost control on a rainy evening towards the top of the hill. As his truck jack-knifed and started down the hill, he jumped out and was caught between the trailer and the cab, severing his leg at the hip. Unfortunately, he died soon after due to blood loss. Dps thought he could have survived if he hed remained in the cab of the truck.

I visited the site this summer and all pieces of wreckage as well as clothes, etc, are piled around the cross.

Anyone else seen this spot?
