    I like to contemplate about the lives of those who have gone before us.

    Early 1900 ladies in my town, biking 15 miles out to a nearby lake, which popular pastime of those years.

    Ruth, do Bison roam free in ND now?  In the 50's when they were on the endangered list, one of my cousins contracted with the government to raise them.  He happened to love horses and had a small heard of them, nine for his family to ride (7 kids) and 3 or 4 well  trained horses for herding.  One year when we were having our family reunion picnic the bison stampeded and broke through their fence.  The oldest teens and all the men saddled up and rode out. The herd was coming straight at the home  place so we got to watch them chase them down, turn the herd by killing the lead bull and head them back towards the pasture.  My heart still pounds when I think about it.

    They roam free in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the Badlands. Other people raise herds on farms, behind the fences that, absolutely they could knock down if they wanted to.....they need a lot of room to roam.

    I'm glad there are at least some Bison roaming free!
