Freewrite Day 550 Bison

I have only seem bison once in my life and that was in the City of San Francisco, California. I had to check online to make sure I was remembering this correctly, and yes, there is a herd of bison in that city. They reside in Golden Gate Park, which is run by the City Parks and Rec and the herd has been there since 1892.

I saw them while on a bus tour with my mom and son @bxlphabet when we were on a big trip up the coast from San Diego. My mom had always wanted to see Big Sur, so I came up with this idea of driving up the coast with her on a 10 day trip when he came to visit us. She did not like California much so I hoped this would make her happy.

My mom was in the early stages of dementia which we do not know. My son was three years old. I aged 20 years on that trip taking care of the two of them. My mom took hours to get ready each morning and by the time she was ready to go, my son was ready for a nap. He was in his “Terrible Threes” stage and cranky from the travel. My mom was also uncomfortable with the driving and we had to stop and walk around often.

Even so, we had a good time and I am glad we did this. I had planned five hour drives between stops (which took eight hours instead) and we took our sweet time getting up the coast. My mom’s favorite stop was Oxnard. If you know anything about California, Oxnard is not the favorite place of most people, but my mom thought it was great.

We took the tourist bus tour in San Francisco and when passing the bison herd they started stampeding. It was a very impressive sight the tour operator said she had never seen before. Usually the bison were standing still under trees and not easy to see. So we got a little look at what the Wild West was like that day.
