Vibe runs with buffalo

Post by KITT222 »

So this afternoon, as a part of the picture challenge, I got to go drive around in the yard with some buffalo. My mom's boyfriend let me into his ranch, and she took the fantastic pictures from her phone (since my camera battery died). So yes, these are ALL the pictures from today. I really enjoyed it. They got real close, one even eating right next to my rear wheel. I went slowly though, and they moved. Shy little creatures!

Very cool!!! I hope you didn't run over any of those 'land mines' scattered about! . I have to admit, I'd be a little intimidated by them getting close. JR

I'd be afraid they get scared and/or pi$$ed and ram the Vibe or something.Really cool pictures Nick !

Thanks everyone! I had fun out there with them. It was very rough, but the Vibe handled it perfectly. It was nearly impossible to not hit one of those land mines, but there was a gravel driveway so I'm sure the rocks chipped away at the clodded up fubbalo doo. They were really shy, actually. They'd just glance at the Vibe, look confused, and then grab another mouthful of hay.
