Good one! Though those road-runners also have two legs, I think, and not four?

For added fun, try driving for miles in the dark through the runners of the Badwater to Whitney race ... I did.

It was 2002. I was living in Big Pine and working in Trona, and was heading home for my days off. I always travelled via Panamint Valley and CA190. I had run with a large group of classic Citroens north from Trona, then the Badwater-Whitney runners from the junction of the Panamint Valley Road and CA190. From that junction to Lone Pine I was constantly hitting groups of runners and support vehicles. It was dark and very smoky from a large wildfire on the other side of the Sierra.

Q: Why did the road runner cross the road in Death Valley National Park?

A. Because he ate a prepackaged hoagie from the general store at Stovepipe Wells, and by the time he hit the restrooms at Emigrant the indigestion hit and he ran across the road before he soiled his feathers.

Or possibly too much peach cobbler at the (no longer existent) Wrangler Steakhouse Buffet.

Also to avoid the park ranger's speeding ticket inside the Texas Springs Campground: (prior to eating the SPW hoagie)
