HIB- I'm looking into it further. A Montana friend was telling me about theirs and soon thereafter I was chatting with someone in WY who said they have the same. Some kind of "magic eye" trigger I'm guessing? Ring camera type set up maybe?

Nice fix at the Castle Rock Trailhead. Now we have just a full traffic jam on a blind corner. So instead of people trying to just cross the road, we have vehicles parked in the highway and people wandering around looking up at the waiting line for parking. Good fix 👍🤦‍♂️

I do know that the highway signs being built right now certainly weren't cheap. I'm curious how the presence of large animals triggers a sign, do they put a chip in each large wild freeroaming animal? Do we put a blinky light on each animal? ( lol)
personally ive been around here for a few decades and just saw my first pair of donkeys (burros?) last week out by erwin...

BTW- highway signs exist and are used in other rural states that activate with flashing lights when large livestock are in the immediate area. Seems like that would be a relatively simple and cost effective way to keep everyone safe. (except the morons who ignore them and then it's up to Darwin...)

HATE330- if we just get rid of about half the people and tourists the burros wouldn't be an issue. They WERE here first .
