Traffic Jam

Here's a scenario that can only happen in Wyoming. A guy is having lunch on his sky deck when he hears a sound. It's the rumble of hooves which he quickly realizes are attached to a bison herd that has interrupted his lunch and stopped traffic.

This just in. If you're a bison in Yellowstone National Park, you can take a nap anywhere you dang well please. That happened recently when traffic was brought to a halt by a calf that needed a few z's.

It's happened before and it will happen again. That you can be sure of. A new video share shows what we refer to as a "bison jam" and it isn't going anywhere (fast) anytime soon.

The Cowboy State gets its fair share of traffic jams, but ours are obviously a little different then those in the more metropolitan areas.

A driver recently learned something that all of us that have lived in Wyoming already knew. Some traffic jams here don't move. Or, maybe I should say "moo-ve".

There are just some moments in your life that scream "Casper". This is one of them. It's a traffic jam that is so perfectly Casper as made possible by a herd of pronghorn.

Wyoming has different traffic issues than other parts of America. Sure, many other places have slowdowns caused by construction. Here our day can come to a cold stop by miles and miles of elk just like it did recently in the western part of our state.

What came first? The chicken or the egg? To rephrase that question in a Yellowstone kind of way...did the bison cause the traffic jam or did the traffic jam cause the bison stampede?

A new video posted to Twitter by Best Videos shows a musk ox keeping his herd in line and off the road.

A local resident, Nelli Jeanne Lucus, captured video yesterday of the wild turkeys causing a small traffic jam near the Center Street underpass.

In case you're new to Wyoming and Yellowstone in particular, we handle traffic a little different around these parts. There's a new video share that shows a bison herd rightfully causing a 3-mile traffic jam and we wouldn't have it any other way.

A new video share has reminded me how much I miss the bison traffic jams in Yellowstone.
