My family has lived in Pinetop Lakeside, AZ since 1974. I have traveled
that highway (route 60) from metro Phoenix through the Salt River Canyon at
least 2,000 to 3,000 times. I have almost hit a javalina, the biggest grey
owl that has ever been created, a rock the size of a washing machine,
horses, cattle, deer, and vultures. Elk always make me the most nervous.
They are as big as a house, like to walk down the center of the road and
they move in large groups. I have seen as many as 25 to 50 at a time. They
are very unpredictable. They can move fast or stand and look stupid. I am
really sorry your number came up. You were very, very lucky. Those suckers
kill people on a regular basis. Your car and nose can be repaired and you
have one hell of a story to tell. Thanks for the photos. I will slow down.
Too bad. That road is really fun to drive....fast.
