Here it Comes
Title:  Here it Comes
Description:  2644 races for the crossing, on the far left are the taillights of a Game Warden's truck. He came over to ask just what we were doing, but to his credit didn't push the issue and left us with our cameras and "there's something else coming if you want to shoot that too." Nice guy just doing his job.
