On the outskirts of Olympia, US 101 westbound in a small place called Mudbay and just off of the road is a huge, metal, charging bull accompanied by a cow and suckling calf. These sculptures all showed up unexpectedly over the course of just a couple of weeks and the first time I saw them was about two am. as I was driving an ambulance from a neighboring community to a hospital in Olympia. I almost drove off the road!
