Lake Audy & BIson Range

It was still cloudy and overcast this morning when we got up. We said goodbye to Jack & Bonnie this morning before they left.

In 1937 this area was designated as a national park now known as Riding Mountain National Park. This area was once home to bison, but were hunted to near extinction by 1875. In 1931 16 bison were re-introduced to the Park and now the herd numbers around 40 bison. The Bison Enclosure is just down the road from the campground and we drove through it today.

We followed the signs off the main road in the hopes of seeing some bison. Well, we weren't disappointed. As a matter of fact, we came across a fellow who wanted to impress upon us that this was HIS territory. He started out at the side of the road, but moved into the road and we sat in the car for about 10 minutes before this fellow moved over to the other side of the road.

Once we were back on the road we came across the maid herd of bison which included some calves.

After leaving the Bison Enclosure we drove over to the Horse Corral Campground to see it. Here Mike & Al had another opportunity to add to their collection of outhouses.
