Goat herd crossing highway

A herd of Rocky Mountain Goats was on one side of Highway 40 in Alberta, Canada during the afternoon of July 25, 2008. One lone goat was on the other side. The herd wanted to cross either to join the other goat or to drink water alongside the highway. They began to cross but hung out one side, possibly because some motorcyclists were coming on the other side. We were nervous wrecks as they crossed the highway but we couldn't do anything. Here's what happened.

This was a nail-biter (and a hoof-biter). I see that the goats had a helluva lot more sense than the motorists!!
Let's hear it for happy endings!
