southern buffalo?
So your driving down the road in NE Mississippi. You can’t imagine how you found yourself here, but it isn’t so bad. You have southern hospitality, all the comforts of home, and . . . wth? Buffalo? A herd of buffalo…and giraffe, camels, ostrich, and various other animals. Yes, we have a buffalo park. I don’t know why. It is an odd sight to see though. When family visit we will be on our way somewhere, I’m rambling on about something and realize they are staring out the window with mouth hanging open at the buffalo. Likely they are wondering why? how? or that’s the funniest looking cow I’ve ever seen. My kids love the buffalo park and taking a ride on the buffalo bus. I’ll pass though. I’m just as happy viewing from the comfort of my own vehicle while on my way to my favorite coffee place.

Here from Michele. Where in Mississippi are you? We lived in Columbus for fifteen years, just moved to Virginia a year and a half ago for a variety of reasons. Don’t see too many on here from the state.

That sounds like fun. Something you certainly don’t expect to see in Mississippi!

srp, we’re actually about an hour from columbus, i’ve been thru there a few times.
the buffalo park usually gets a double take from passers by. not necessarily a MS expectation!

That is way cool! I think I would like it just as much as kids would.
Michele sent me today.

on my first trip to the mountains when I was about 6 or 7 years old–I spotted some buffalo. My dad kept driving, saying they must be cows as there are were no Buffalo in Virginia (where we were at the time). I kept insisting, finally my mother spoke up and said, I think he’s right. Dad finally looked and I was right! your post brings back memories.
