OK, so when do they get a "Manatee Crossing Zone?"

Wow, speed zones through a national park.... what a novel idea! I bet
they even have those in Colorado Nation Parks.


I bet it isn't 5 MPH


It probably should be....

What sort of idiot would go blasting through an area, knowing that
they would likely hit wildlife (or anything else)?

Even by car, every day/night I go slow .... really slow .... through
areas I reasonably suspect are populated by deer, wild turkey, bear,
buzzard, etc.

With the boat, I don't want to hit a whale, manatee, sand bar,
submarine (yep, that "amber flashing light" *does* mean something) or
anything else...... slow the hell down.....

.... quit whining and pull back on the throttle.....



Well said Gene. Well said.
