Wow! Do you think it came out of a meteorite?? That would sure beat a few measly microbes in proving other life in the universe!

It was a human leg with a shoe attached and a motorcycle lying on the edge of the road with a women standing next to a unconscious man. You can't imagine the thought that was going through my mind at this time. Holy crap, miles from anywhere, no phone service, an unconscious man lying on the shoulder of the road with his leg lying 20' away. My main thought was to check out the patient and notify the local authorities. The man was in critical condition but still breathing . The leg was a prosthetic limb that had fallen off during the accident. To make a long story short , a large elk ran in front of the motorcyclist and caused them to crash. 1 1/2 hours later he was flown to a hospital in California.

As i started to get the camera out to take a photograph Brix started to investigate the object. I could just see Brix running off with the leg! The leg appeared to be very old. I just wonder what is next, hopefully no more legs! I hope to have a few picture up soon of my latest discovery.
