We drove through Custer State Park in western SD this summer and the buffalo herd was moving from one side of the road to the other.  They walked right in front of our car and it was powerful seeing them up close.  One of the cloud formations we saw that day made me think about putting a buffalo calf in the clouds since the white buffalo is sacred.
