During the witching hour on a winter’s night which included a thirteenth full moon of the year, I set out to locate a possible mile-marker of a demon, the New Jersey Devil. Leading up to the six-hundred and sixty-sixth thousand, six-hundred and sixty-sixth mile of my vehicle (i.e.: 666,666 miles), I had been experiencing an odd sensation. The sensation was of not being alone, although no one else was with me. So, just in case the presence was any bit demonic, I stayed within a stone’s throw of an old favored church from long ago for the mileage event to pass. However, I didn’t see the demon. But I enjoyed a nice night ride out into the pines, and that’s ok.

PS. Odd how it was so difficult to clearly photograph the odometer reading at this mileage - no matter how I took
the photo.
