Camping with the Buffalo in Oklahoma

I'm using Scott's version of this occasion with a few of my comments thrown in. He wrote it better but I am just remembering it. So this is really my version so don't blame Scott. After our exchange student from Norway had been here a year we took her camping to show her the USA. She had camped in Europe so knew how. We went south through Oklahoma. Ray had been there in the Field Artillery. We were in a campground with a Buffalo herd. We woke up one morning to the rather odd sound of several large animals walking through our campsite, rubbing themselves against the tents and generally having a pleasant stroll down the hill towards the lake. The herd passed and we emerged. However the rangers did not want them down by the lake and a helicopter was trying to turn them around toward their grazing area where tourists were stopping along the highway to take pictures. To do this the Rangers used a helicopter to scare the herd around and back. The herd reacted rather strongly to the dive-bombing helicopter. We all got in the car and watched from there. The animals did not knock down the tent but the clothesline was not so lucky. They are very big close up. We kidded Ingrid about how Norwegians had explored the world, but she answered, "They never sent women."
