On July 31, Ranger-Naturalist Moll, Waesche, and Andrews were riding over the Castle Creek motorway, with Boundary Springs as our destination. As our car rounded a curve, we surprised a badger in the middle of the road. He turned on us, teeth bared, and apparently determined to fight the automobile to a standstill. He did, for when the car was brought to a stop, three feet from him, he was still holding his position, determined to do or die. He was flattened out like a rug and to our startled eyes appeared a foot and a half broad. He did not retreat for perhaps a minute but when he decided to do so, it was in accord with the best military tactics. He would run a few feet, turn, and take a stand. This he would hold for perhaps half a minute. Then he would run and turn again, repeating this procedure until he was lost among the trees. We all agreed that when a badger fought an automobile, that was news.
