6 national parks/monuments
3 puzzle post cards (extra postage)
3 big horn sheep
2 coyotes
2 yellow-bellied marmots
2 moose
2 flat tires
2 state high points (Iowa, South Dakota)
LOTS of prairie dogs
TONS of petrified wood
About one-hundred Wall Drug billboards
2/3 of the world’s geysers (OK we probably didn’t see every single one, but they are all there in Yellowstone)
1 black bear
1 graduation
1 Crazy Horse (in progress)

AND...

Some good quotes from the trip:
Will, as we are looking over the upper falls brink on the Yellowstone River, “It’s a good thing water molecules don’t feel pain.”

Will: “If a grizzly attacks me you know what to do, right?”
Me, totally serious and slightly frightened at the thought: “No. What?”
Will: “Keeping filming. It'll make you millions.”
