Lynx at Beulah Roadside Encounter
A speeding car driven by David Russell with passengers Ted and Arthur Rowan met a Canada Lynx near a creek south of Beulah. The big cat crossed the highway four feet over the white line at 55 mph and, after a half snarl, disappeared as the vehicle passed. The piece hints a moral about 60 mph being too fast.
