Home on the Range, First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park, Ulm, Montana

Smoke from regional forest fires hazes the mountains near Great Falls and Ulm, Montana, add to the lonely aspect of this tipi set up in First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park.
While affecting a picturesque filter from a distance, wild fire safety is definitely something to be aware of before you head out into any wilderness. RidersTrail offers some safe planning food-for-thought in their useful infographic.

Where the Buffalo Roam, Lolo, Montana

Sing it with me, now: "Hoooome, home on the range!...."This Lolo, Montana, bison herd is one of the sights to be seen any day of the week. 
One Friday evening, coincidentally just as I was coming around the curve where this herd is pastured, I heard this Groaner Friday joke on SOS Radio:
Q: What did the daddy buffalo say to his calf who was leaving for school?
A: Bi-son!
(Grooooan!)
