We went buffalo hunting this morning!  Betsy knocked on the RV door and told us the Wonder Bread delivery man had spotted a herd just outside the gate to the park, about six miles from here.  We leapt into the Jeep, sped up the road to the entrance and saw....no buffalo.  But we recognized Judy, another former Xanterra co-worker, manning the gate-house.  She said they'd moved to the first meadow inside the park, a quarter-mile south.  Sure enough, there was a herd of 18-20, including two calves, lounging at the far edge of the meadow by the trees.  All in all, a successful 'hunt' : we got to see these huge, magnificent beast, took lots of pictures and enjoyed the serendipity of seeing an old friend from 2007.
