Houston ... we have a problem!





At any given time, there are between 2,300 and 4,500 bison at Yellowstone Park.  Since we are considered trespassers on their land, they always have the right-of-way.  As we headed out of Montana, through the park, we saw first hand what a traffic jam can occur when the bison decide to take the road.  This bison herd, calves and all, travelled down the main road to cross the river via the bridge (they need to thank us for that one!).  We could look down from the bus and see these massive creatures up close.  Our dog Pepe was just not too sure what to think of these things walking so closely!
