A lot of you knew the location of the painted horse in an earlier Road Trip Picture of the day challenge. But where can you find this buffalo?

Update (Wednesday, 9:35 a.m.): The answer is West Yellowstone, Montana.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo.--When I was sifting through my Road Trip photos, looking for an image for the July 15 picture of the day challenge, I thought that one of the shots I'd taken of the painted horses at the Pioneer Days celebration in Ogden, Utah, would be a good choice.

What I didn't know--until I started getting e-mails about it--is that a number of cities across the country have painted horse exhibitions like the one in Ogden. And other animals, too.

So when I saw this painted bison--done very much in the style of the horses I'd seen in Odgen--I thought that some of you might be familiar with this one, too. So, today's picture of the day challenge is just that: Can you tell me where this is located?

If you're the first person to e-mail me (at daniel--dot--terdiman--at--cnet--dot--com) with the correct answer, you'll win a prize.

Good luck. And stay tuned for a picture of a painted donkey. Just kidding.

I'm going to guess Cody, WY. But that's just a guess....

I don't know where this Bison is but there are lots more something like it in Buffalo, NY. They're left scattered about town after the "Herd about Buffalo", nine years ago in summer and fall of 2000.

Janny Rae Lieberman has many of them on a GeoCities site.

I hope JRL, and other folks with GeoCities, move thier sites to some other host by next month!
