I should have asked: does anyone know the names of the summits in the top photo? Those are two cool peaks (literally!).

Bigfoot ballet?

The sign in the top picture is found on the Pikes Peak highway and is the inspiration for my username on just about everything and my profile picture on FB. I sincerely hope and pray that the Waldo Canyon Fire doesn’t jump the HWY 24 and start to burn towards Pikes Peak. It is one of our favorite places and my kids and I always look for Bigfoot when we drive that way. My heart literally hurts thinking about all the people who have lost their homes and loved ones because of this fire.

Fhqwhgads: Well, yeah, but I’d say that pretty much every mile of American road that could have a deer sign has one now.

To say nothing of deer signs having a pay-attention factor that, by this point, probably dips below even that of, well, you know, speed-limit signs.

And this is where that old curiosity factor, that seems to be lacking in the most interesting places, comes into play.

Of course, North American land-management agencies – conditioned to think of everything new as a Major Potential Headache – probably have a curiosity factor ranking somewhat below, well, think of the least curious person you know. Subtract 5,000 and take the square root of that, then multiply by 0.0001. It’s only taken them 50 years to come around to the thinking that cougars don’t check Acknowledged Range Maps every day, and stick to those boundaries.

So, never mind…

Given what a deer can do to a car, I think a deer crossing sign would work just as well, and even the most ardent Bigfoot believer will admit there are far, far more deer than Bigfoot crossing US and Canadian roads.

That last sign looks the strangest. What, is Bigfoot walking a tight rope over Niagra Falls, or is Patty strutting her stuff in some sort of beauty pageant?

Could it really be so bad for authorities in the US and Canada to take the same approach to this subject that’s been taken in Bhutan – a nation from which the rest of the world could learn a lot – and simply accept at least that this could be out there; if it is, there may not be many; and so motorists, keep your eyes open and don’t treat this road like Le Mans?

Who would not benefit from that?

Exactly.
