Road Trip! The One Where They Hunt Dinosaurs!!! Day 4

We left Rapid City this morning and went straight to Hot Springs to the Mammoth Site. 
You'll find another massive photo dump on Facebook from our visit there. Basically, the Mammoth Site is an area that was a sink hole where many mammoths died and were fossilized. They built a building around the dig Site and you can see the fossils still partially in the rock.

Then... we hit the road, driving out of South Dakota and into Wyoming. Our GPS took us a different route than we originally planned, but it was shorter and gorgeous! 
Instead of driving through Casper, we drove through Laramie.. which meant we could make a pit stop at the University of Wyoming Geological Musuem....
Again, you will find many more photos on Facebook ;).

We continued to drive through the mountains, up and down through Wyoming and into Colorado.

We saw Rabbit Ear Pass in the distance and we drove.........
or should I say, Allan drove.. All the way to Craig, Colorado for the night.

Our current state count is 6 (Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado.)

The current dinosaur count is anybody guess.. but we know that there will be more, many more!
