We decided to take a ride through the mountains Sunday afternoon. The trip took us through the Philmont Boy Scout Camp in northern New Mexico.
As we were passing through the upper portions of Philmont we saw a clearing with a huge herd of elk; probably 100 or more. Past this herd was a second herd, probably 70 or more. While taking pictures from the fence line, the closest herd got nervous and decided we posed some threat. They ran parallel to the fence line for about 50 yards, then jumped the fence, crossed the road right in front of us, and jumped another fence, running off into the distance.
Here is a picture of the end of the herd crossing the road.
Cruiser content: I'm glad we didn't meet them crossing the road or Christo's front bumper would have been severely tested.
Disclaimer: A pro would have captured some outstanding images from this opportunity. I'm not a photographer and I know it.
