Where's the Buffalo?

This poster was inside the Visitor's Center in Custer State Park.

This is the site we first saw as we drove up the road. We wondered why the cars were stopped. As we continued we found out. What a delightful surprise.

We just stopped and watched in amazement as these massive animals came up the hill and crossed the road.

Mom stopped and waited until her baby caught up with her.

The herd was moving from one side of the valley across the road to the other.

These buffalo were awsome to watch, totally in control of the situation.

This by far has to be the largest herd of buffalo we've ever seen.

Look at the different size of the animals.

Excuse the dirty windshield, the dirt roads are dry and dusty. These guys were right in front of the Jeep.

I wasn't about to get out of the car here. I even rolled up the window just in case one of these guys wanted to get personal.

One of these two were mad and started snorting at us. Needless to say we weren't about to get out and have a discussion as to what the problem was.

Look at the massive herd scattered across the meadow.

As we drove around the park, this buffalo found himself a nice waterhole and decided to sit down and rest a spell.

Meanwhile the antelope in the same area weren't too concerned about him.
