After leaving Park City, we headed towards Colorado Springs, CO, following our uncle Conrad.  We decided to split the trip into two days, so we stopped for the night on a ranch outside of Baggs, WY.  We were planning on sleeping in a fith-wheel trailer parked at the ranch but when we got there we decided to sleep under the stars (without our tent because it was still in Salt Lake City getting repaired!) Before bed Conrad drove us out on the alfalfa field to look for deer.  As we were driving along we sam a big animal that looked a little like a skunk running along the ground!  Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was a porcupine.  The moment we got out of the car, Conrad started chasing the porcupine!  My mom and I though he was nuts because we were under the impression that porcupines shot quills at you!  After a little while, Conrad asked us why we were staying so far away from the porcupine. We told him about the shooting quills and he told us that you had to get hit by their tail to get quills in you.  With this new information, we approached the porcupine and got close enough to take a good picture!  We headed back, and as I was laying in bed I saw a mouse scurry across the fence in front of me.  He kept scurrying for quite a while but I eventually stopped watching and fell asleep.
