When driving alone you do many things to keep yourself alert and aware of things around you. On this trip I counted road kill! Believe it or not it was an interesting activity. From Colorado to Utah and then back to Arizona I saw 7 deer, 2 coyotes, 1 lion (not sure what kind but it had the coloring of a lion in Africa which I knew wasn't possible--but it sure looked similar to that). I saw a black cat of some sort but it was about the size of a coyote. There was one bird lying on the side of the road with another bird standing by it not knowing what to do. I smelled a dead skunk long before I saw his mashed body on the road. I also saw about 4 smaller animals that I couldn't identify. As morbid as this sounds it was a greater activity to keep me alert and grateful that I hadn't hit any of them!
