We saw many different animals in the different places we visited.

- Yellowstone National Park
- Cody, WY - Buffalo Bill Historical Center
- Sheridan, WY
- Devils Tower National Monument
- Rapid City, SD - Mount Rushmore National Memorial

butterfly, robin, prairie dogs, bull snake, horse, prong horn antelope, cow/cattle, geese, wild horses, mule deer, big horn sheep, squirrels, black bears, mountain goats, spiders, flies, ants, long horn cattle, cats, hereford cattle, white tailed deer, tiger striped butterfly, bald eagle, chipmunk, yellow jacket, bumblebee, elk - female, bull elk, grasshoppers, bison, and domestic sheep.
As we were going over the mountain pass between Cody and Sheridan, Wyoming (at dusk), we encountered 46 mule deer around various turns and bends. I was the lookout girl, but Chris usually saw them before I did. So much for being "lookout girl." Chris was grateful to reach Sheridan safely!
