They told us at the entrance to be very careful around the buffalo--it's rutting season, stay out of their way, keep well back, it's their park first--we're just visiting.
This is the campground, which is in a circle. The buffalo cross from the surrounding woods to the center of the campground to graze. If you are outside, and they're coming close, get inside.
This was taken through our screen door as they passed by our chairs and table.
One even left a gift by our table. Good thing his aim was so good. Few inches closer and that table would have gone in the dumpster!
Great granddaddy Bison--everyone paid attention to him.
So, sometimes you have to wait a little to use the dump station.
And you may have to wait for the showers and bathrooms too!They're magnificent animals, and we're so glad we stopped to see this park. We drove the entire 14 miles of road in the park, almost of half of which is under construction. The views were wonderful, and the buffalo could show up around any corner. You'd just have to either stop and wait for them, or try to go very, very slowly. The ranger told us that a big bull could tip a small car.
I love these guys, we have few in Romania too, but they are less and less....
