Cruising the Streets of Downtown Hartford

Last week Rick and one of his co-workers were working out of town in Connecticut.  They were on their way to a recruiting station in downtown Hartford when the unexpected happened.  As they were getting ready to proceed through a green traffic light (I emphasize green because Rick will also go through yellow and pink traffic lights), 2 motorcycle cops stopped all the traffic in the intersection.  They waited awhile and kept looking for the funeral procession or other emergency vehicles to come through.  To their surprise, this is what they saw coming around the corner......
The girls got a kick out of the "pooper scooper" supplies following closely behind the elephants.
Rick just couldn't resist having his picture taken with the celebrities.
Elephants cruising downtown are certainly not the first thing that come to your mind when you contemplate your adventures of the day.

I want to see elephants walking down a street in Tucson. We did see about a dozen donkeys walking down River road around Christmas a couple years ago. That was kind of funny. They had escaped from some boarding place.

LOL I've seen an airplane drive down main street and a horse run across the big ole bridge and down town, but never a herd of elephants! That is pretty cool. What was the occasion?

That's awesome!!! I would actually prefer elephants walking down the street instead of bears:)

Now that gives you something fun to talk about for a few days.
