Big Timber, MT

   dw's description of the bison, antelope and coyote in the park was spot on.  The antelope and coyote was a great little scene of preditor prey.  I really enjoyed the buffalo ignoring the whole thing.  --- As if a giant bison would worry about a scrawny coyote (although the coyote did have a fine bushy tail). 
   More observations from the road:  Some of the farmers/ranchers around here seem to dispose of their old combines by parking them on a hill top and leaving them to rust away.  They have a sculptural presence (sort of like a  great lumbering beast) that's surprisingly interesting.  We've seen five to ten of them. 
   The cow mystery is solved as we saw a herd walking west.  The natural humors of the hemisphere have been restored.  We are relieved.
   Finally, we were passed by a pickup truck that had three or four dead deer loaded in the back.  The only thing you could see wwere the feet and legs sticking up.  Seeing just those made it extra grim and bizarre. DA
