I started thinking about all the Elk Crossing signs. I thought, why can't I find some cool elk antlers on the side of the road? Immediately after I thought that, I saw a bunch of bones on the side of the road and did a u-turn and since there was no shoulder I parked right on the edge and leaped into the bushes where I saw the bones. There were some huge ones and some tiny ones and I had visions of the Vesperton getting crushed by a car so I quick grabbed something sort of cool and leaped back on and kept going. About seven miles down the road I thought, 'Betsy. You didn't pick the huge femur bone which would have been hilarious to carry around. You didn't pick a tiny one that you could hang somewhere. You managed to pick the weirdest and least useful bone'. And I did. Plus who actually rummages through animal bones on the side of the road FOR FUN? I don't know why I'm still single, honestly I don't...

So after that my eyes were glued to the side of the road hoping to find some sweet antlers. Alas, no other Elks had died near the road.
