Original Toronto Star caption: Tong war takes place right in the middle of the Banff-Jasper Highway; glorious stretch of mountain road that no visitor to the Rockies should miss. Mountain sheep spend their days mooching along the road and can generally be found in more or less predictable sections of the 142-mile highway. When there's a disagreement; the sheep settle it among themselves with a head-bash oblivious of cars and tourists.
