So as part of our recent vacation to the Canadian Rockies, we wanted to include a visit to Glacier National Park just over the border in Montana. This necessitated a drive down a two-lane country road in Alberta Canada which led us to a tiny border crossing in the middle of nowhere. The Immigration/Customs guy examined our passports and waved us through, cheerfully saying: "Welcome to the US and watch out for the cows."
Watch out for the cows? Had some bovine coup taken place during our short absence from the homeland? Well, no, he meant it literally. Apparently the ranchers in Northern Montana are not particularly diligent about maintaining their livestock fences. For the next several miles of two-lane country road we shared the right-of-way with numerous steers of various breeds who wandered aimlessly across the pavement and along the shoulders of the road.

Eventually we reached a more traveled road where the fences were kept up and the wandering beef menace was no more.
