African Elephant statue.

Elephant Statue - Breeding Ranch Tribute

This elephant stands at a busy street corner in the parking lot of a convenience store. He is very large and is accompanied by a small sign explaining the breeding program. Not something you would expect to find in this area.

You can see the statue from the turnpike. Look south under the Harley Davidson sign. A police officer is under the bridge; slowing down saved us a ticket!
