oh, give me a Home...

....where the Buffalo roam...

 One of our local tourist emporiums has this herd of 5 life sized fiberglass bison, all duded up and displayed on Mt. Rushmore Road, the main drag to, of all places, Mt. Rushmore. 

When you stop to look up close, the artwork that decorates them is really quite stunning. There is free-hand work, airbrush, tooled leather and the one above is half covered with pieces of white quartz to imitate the curly wool of the bison.

Living in an area that depends on summer tourism brings out all kinds of things to try and intrigue travelers and draw them into local businesses.
