Highway to the Stars
Now, I’m not going to do this experience justice. I’m not going to be able to describe the feelings and visuals, but I’m hoping it’ll be enough to maybe connect or convince someone enough to seek this sight for themselves.

Cheyenne, Wyoming Highlight - Terry Bison Ranch
If you are driving through Wyoming, Terry Bison Ranch is a must do. Visitor are allowed to roam the ranch and enjoy the environment at their own pace. The best way to share this experience is through pictures so that is what I will do accompanied by short commentaries. We stayed in the RV park and there is no addition fee to explore the area unless you wish to partake in the bison tour.

Use the Power of Questions to Prompt Writing Topics
Traveling, visiting landmarks and eating cuisine of new regions ignites my senses. However, getting to the destination tests my patience. During the hours of driving, my interest wanes requiring me to get creative to stay awake. First up is the alphabet game. Once each letter has been spotted on road signs, I begin to find a license plate from every state in the union. Then I torment my husband by exclaiming, “I spy!” and describing some obscure item. He plays along until we both lose interest and move onto other stimulating games like listing animals whose names start with every letter of the alphabet.

Why listen to a story? You know the answer right away.

Stories connect us to our deepest selves; at heart, we all know that. It’s why you’re reading this here on Vocal, after all: Vocal is a home for storytelling.

Tulip Town
I challenged myself upon arriving to Washington State that every week I was going to do something. Whether that being big or small, I just did not want to stay home. After working with my therapist, we developed healthy coping mechanisms for helping me manage my mental health issues, because staying at home and sleeping in bed all day is not an option.

Amazing Facts About Jackals
Everyone, today's topic is jackals. Jackals are fascinating animals that can be found in the same family as wolves and foxes. There are three species of jackals, which are medium-sized carnivores with diverse appearance and behavior. Let's explore the world of black-backed and side-striped jackals in more detail. Typically, jackals weigh 15 to 45 pounds and stand 15 to 25 inches tall at the shoulder. Their fur is golden brown with regular black stripes on their backs, and they have long, slender legs and a pointed snout. The striped jackal is the smallest of the three species and is widespread throughout the world, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and Southeast Europe. The golden jackal is the largest of the three species. They can survive in forested places but prefer open ecosystems such as savannas, deserts, and grasslands. Of the three species, the golden jackal is the most widespread and versatile, living in a variety of environments. desert to jungle. While the Side-striped Jackal is common in central and southern Africa, the Black-backed Jackal is found in Southern and East Africa. Because they are opportunistic hunters, jackals consume a variety of foods when they are available. They forage and eat fruits and insects in addition to hunting small mammals such as furry animals and birds. It is said that golden jackals have this talent. Jackals are noted for their distinctive howling behavior, which helps them communicate with each other within established territories, and their ability to consume almost anything, including domestic pets. They are animals that live in packs of up to 10 people, with male and female dogs predominating. They work together to hunt, defend their territory, and care for their young jackals. They live in monogamous relationships, meaning they mate for life with the same person. Jackals' lifespans vary depending on the species and the environment they live in. They usually have a lifespan of 10 to 10 years. After 12 years of living in the wild, they are still vulnerable to various problems, such as habitat loss and human abuse. The most famous and beloved of the three species is the golden jackal, which is also the most targeted for persecution. Humans frequently hunt and poison them because they are believed to pose a danger to farming and hunting animals. In addition to being hunted for their fur, black-backed jackals are also a nuisance. Although the side-striped jackal is not as endangered as the other two species, it is still at risk of habitat loss. Various conservation efforts are being made to protect jackals in their natural environment. Many groups are trying to spread the importance of jackals to their ecosystems and activities. Others are working to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned and released jackals that need to live with humans. In some places where conservationists are also using non-lethal techniques to manage jackal populations, such as guard dogs and electric fences, they have returned to the wild. Here are some interesting facts about jackals that you may not know. Because of the silver-gray fur that covers its body, the Black-backed Jackal is sometimes also called the Silver-backed Jackal. The god Anubis was once described as having the head of a jackal in Egyptian mythology. Jackals are famous for their keen sense of hearing and smell, which help them locate prey and avoid predators. A legendary animal called the "jackal" is a cross between a jackal and an antelope. It is sometimes seen with deer or elk-like antlers and plays an important role in many ecosystems as a scavenger, removing dead animals and preventing the spread of disease. The white stripes that run along the flanks of the side-striped jackal give it its name. This stripe is believed to aid in the identification of other Jackals in the pack. In their pack, jackals are known for their playful activity, regularly participating in wrestling matches and chases. Since they are known for their ability to adapt to changing circumstances and outwit their prey, which is exactly what jackals aim to do, jackals are often associated with intelligence and cunning in some cultures. . We sincerely hope today you enjoy learning about these incredible animals, as well as their meanings and functions. Thank you for watching.
