| Buffalo, Elk and Castle Wall, SD |

 |
 |
| The Buffalo and Elk (or I guess it could be a Bison and a Deer of some sort) stand in front of an America's Best Value Inn. These figures appear pretty old and are different from the other fiberglass examples on this page. I don't know if they have always been at this property (surely another motel was here before) or were moved here from someplace else. The Castle behind the Elk evidently contains pool supplies. |
