Not Deer
"70 MILES" offers some scope on how spread out the West is. On the return trip home from Silver Springs, NV, I passed one of these signs as I approached emergency vehicles off to the right. My eyes widened as I understood the mound in the road to be an animal. In passing, the gruesome carcass seemed large enough to be moose but it had to be an elk. My jaw dropped when my brain finally recognized what the out of place shape was after it -- I was looking at the undercarriage of an overturned semi trailer. Yet another regret for not looping back for a shot.
