Build It and They Will Come

A bit of Canadiana for you........

This is the actual turnoff from Banff to the # 1 highway to Calgary. They had to build the animals (especially the elk) their own crossing because that was where the natural crossing was and after the highway was built there were far too many accidents. Cool, eh?

Yup, really cool. Need more of them. Protect both the wildlife and the cars.
Saw a picture of a car that hit a moose or elk, it went in the windshiel and was stickin out the rear window. The roof was about ripped off. The drive had a broken wrist and some cuts. Wow.

Hmmmmm. Hunting in a National Park. You've heard about Mexican prisons. They're NOTHING compared to what happens in Canada!
