Someone used to have a farm on Whidbey Island, WA, where they were raising tatonkas. I should check to see if they still are...used to see them right by the side of the road, just South of Oak Harbor, but I seem to recall a news story about the heard being sold off a couple years back.
Just checked...nope. Sounds like they're still here. I go through town to early and too late to see them out, I guess (usually passing through on the way to our satellite office). Article, but no pics.

Does make me wonder...there is someone South of Coupeville on the same island who sells Beefalo. What's that called, big chief, mootonka?
#4 That sounds like fun. I haven't done a good road trip in a while (although Cfest felt like one).
