Road Kill July 23, 2010

This morning we took a ride to see if we could see any more elk in the same area we had seen so many the other day. We were sad to see that one of the big beautiful elk we love to see was laying on the side of the road. Last night we heard the volunteer rescue and fire department go out and when we saw the elk on the side of the road we wondered if that was where they were going. Hitting an elk with your vehicle is going to do a lot of damage to the car and could cause very serious injuries to the occupants.



Tonight we went to Luna to see the activities they were doing for Pioneer Day's. They start on Friday with a street fair that got moved inside because of rain and finishes on Sunday after church. Tomorrow they have a parade, BBQ, rodeo and dance.
On our way back to Alpine we came across a very large herd of elk. Some females and at least one with a large rack of antlers. I tried to get pictures but the camera was not cooperating and so I did not get any pictures. They were the closest we had seen and were right at the sign that says Alpine east of town less than a mile from my place. It is such a wonderful sight to see and I wish I could have shared them with you.
