The neatest thing about living so close to the Wildlife Refuge is the opportunity to glimpse animals "in the wild". On our way to Lawton yesterday, we saw a herd of 50+ elk grazing right near the City of Lawton sign. That's right off the interstate! Of course, we look every time we go to Lawton, knowing we might see them. Usually, we see deer in that area. But we were rewarded this time!
Just to emphasize the juxtaposition of wild Oklahoma and city Oklahoma: on the way home, we had to stop for about 20 minutes while traffic was rerouted around a massive car accident on Rogers Lane. No elk were involved in the wreck. :) And it looked like the people involved were okay.
Strange how life is like that.
And yes, it did remind me of hitting the deer a month ago. Thank you so much for allowing me NOT to forget that.
