Saving elk beside US 89

Here's a Heart Warming Story to end Year 2017.  Passersby on US 89 near Alpine, Wyoming stopped to become Good Samaritans and helped save a small herd of elk that had fallen through the ice of Palisades Reservoir.

Wyoming Game and Fish biologist Gary Fralick chalked up the successful rescue to the large contingent of people who stopped to help. Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputies, the Wyoming Dept. of Transportation and about 25 residents who were passing by assisted, Fralick said.
