Fun video, Jason -
Thanks for posting it! And it clearly shows both Chipmunks (the little guys with four white
stripes) and Golden Mantled Ground Squirrels (the bigger ones with only two white stripes).
It's hard to tell - since there's only a brief look at them just before the Chipmunk sequence -
but your videographer may have also captured some footage of the all too common Two-
Legged Ground Squirrels, closely related both to Flatland Touristers and to Foamites ...

p.s. I concur with several others that any one item on your list - if given the attention it deserves - would add at least a couple of hours to Brian's journey, and highly recommend stopping in Salida or Buena Vista overnight.
