I almost rear ended someone south of cooper landing (in the 55mph area) awhile back because they saw a bear in the river.  Rather than find a pull off (there was one literally 100 feet further up the road) and getting their pictures, they stopped IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, got out of the car, and started taking pictures.  I yelled at them to pull over (because I didn't want to get rear ended myself) and they FLIPPED ME OFF.  wow.
