I worked over in Avalon one summer during college. While it was a blast, I didn't come back with any money after paying rent and alcohol bills.

Anyway, one of the locals wanted to know if we wanted to come over to the other side to surf. Yeah, sure. After a bumpy, long ride, we had to walk about a quarter mile to the beach and there was a herd of about 30 buffalo grazing in a meadow along the trail.

I didn't think much of it as I'd seen them in the back country and they usually ignore you as long as you just keep going where you're going.

The surf was a joke, like 1 foot mush, so we hung out and then left. The herd was still there and we were walking quietly by when some young buc started snorting and digging his front hooves and then took off toward us.

Here we are with surfboard under arm and nowhere to go. The buffalo were in the meadow and the other side of the trail was a steep hill full of prickly cactus. Luckily we saw a narrow trail between cactus and scampered up the hill wondering how we'd get down.

As we waited impatiently for what seemed like forever, the big buc of the herd came over to this young smaller teenager and must have told him to leave us alone because he then walked him back over to the herd with the young buc peeking back at us from time to time.

After waiting a bit more, we slipped down the hill and tip toed away until we got down the road a bit and ran back to the truck.
