Search for the Stone Buffalo, con't April 21, 2006

Picture:  Stone Buffalo near Longford, KS


...........to the next turn and there up on a hill was the stone buffalo.  Last week at lunch in Longford I had heard about a buffalo ranch near by that had a statue of a buffalo.  In addition to the buffalo, the owner also had exotic animals and had also built the statue.  As I continued down the road I crested a hill and off to my left I thought I had found a smaller statue of a buffalo.  Turns out this one was real, a big bull all alone just enjoying the sunshine.  As I stopped and fumbled for the camera he rumbled out of sight behind some brush.  About a quarter mile up the road I could see the rest of the herd in the distance, too far for a picture.

  A few more miles of dirt road and it's back to the tarmac and a leisurely ride home.  About 105 miles and the bike is a mess.
