PHOENIX -- An Arizona agency's posting about Bigfoot is leaving its mark on social media. The Arizona Department of Transportation Facebook post Jan. 1 reads: "We might have spotted a family of sasquatches on SR 260 near Heber this afternoon. What do you think?" As of Tuesday, it had been shared more than 3,700 times. Spokesman Tom Herrmann says his agency tries to drive traffic to its Twitter account using humor -- a strategy that has helped it gain nearly 52,000 followers.
