On Friday, August 1st, we set out on our journey. We loaded up the van with two of our cousins, L & A and hit the dusty trail in search of our first bison. Hmmm... Don's Carwash... We drove up to it, expecting to see the bison right away. No bison in sight. I got in a car line and a worker approached me wondering which type of carwash I wanted. I explained our adventure and he said the buffalo was INSIDE the carwash! But, we could view it at the end of the line. We parked and headed inside. Sure enough, there was our first find! This poor guy was not really kept up - there was trash by his hooves and, as you can maybe tell by the picture, the place was L-O-U-D. But, nevertheless, we spotted "A Path Through the Prairie".
Next up, was a fellow named "Kaleidoscope" not too far from Don's Carwash at Cable One. There were two Cable One offices across the street from each other, so we picked one and hopped out. There was a line of people, but no buffalo to be seen. I figured we had chosen the wrong office building, so we jumped back in the van and drove around the building, also hoping to see if it was an outside display. Nope. I checked our official guide with the address, and we were in the right place. Hmmm. We went back in the building and made our way to the front of the line. The gal said they no longer had the buffalo. Bummer. What does a company do with a large buffalo they no longer want to display? Too bad, too, because Kaleidoscope looked like a beauty.
#3 (or 2) was in a University of Mary building and as we pulled up L exclaimed that there dentist is in the same building and she HAD in fact SEEN the buffalo in question. We knew we were on the right track! We unbuckled and jumped out to find Mr. Dakota Dream, right as we walked in the building. M declared it was her favorite because of his golden head. C was just glad it was in a much quieter location!
