Calling All Tourist-Elks!

While driving home from the U.P. (Eh!) I saw a sign that read "For tourist-elk herd information, please call...". I was glad that we saw fit to provide vacationing elk an easy way to find a local herd. It's important that they find a herd-away-from-herd while they're on the road.

Then @pianoeditor suggested that maybe this applied to Elks. As in The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Perhaps they have random "herds" that gather in empty fields wearing funny hats. (Author's note: I do not know for a fact that BPOE members actually wear funny hats, but they should. I would never join a fraternal order that didn't wear funny hats.) I'm envisioning a woodsy cocktail party here.

Either way I suspect that a tourist-elk is would be a memorable thing to see. So keep an eye peeled as you travel America's highways. Tourist-Elks are everywhere.
