A ride through Fairmount Park wouldn’t be bad!

I still have some of those skills. In this instance all I needed do is utter a few guttural moos…

A cattle guard is sort of like a grate over a storm sewer — an open construction that a cow doesn’t feel comfortable stepping on. The guards allow you to drive over without having to get out to open and close a gate. The one in the picture seems filled with gravel so the cows might just walk over it.

I would only be concerned if there was a dairy bull in the pasture. Beef cattle are generally pretty docile.

Generally.

Bypassed one last week by dipping into the would for a quick offroad jaunt. You would have been stuck on the URAL.

Coop: Those cows wouldn’t blink at the cattle guard. While I was watching them I saw one push its head through the fence to get to some grass. No juice in the wire. Glad they didn’t decide to push on through!
