Canada, Part II
While leaving Banff area I passed a herd of mountain goats, three deer and two black bears. One goat hopped over a Jersey barrier, saw a semi fast approaching, and hopped back just in time. I was riding behind the truck so I'm glad he didnt hop in front of me. The deer were along side the road in the grass, and I honked my horn repeatedly to make them aware. They still looked, however, like, um, deer in headlights. I would have like to have gotten a bear photo - the first one came to view too quickly and I wasn' about to slam my brakes. The second one was about 15' from the pull-off - had I stopped, I don't know how quickly he would have come to see what's for dinner.
