Fellow Buffalo Chris Migotsky (aka the Moonmaster, above) put a lot of people in pain this past Saturday as the race director of the Clinton Lake Trail ultra. The 30-mile run is the toughest race I've ever run, having tried it last year but finishing only 20 miles. The Moonmaster is also the grand bison of the herd's moon runs, where lunatic buffaloes turn out on the night of each full moon to run the Buffalo Trace trail no matter what the conditions. Nothing like running in moonlit snow or around a crowd of fireflies on a misty evening.
Grandson Little Bull bagged a big chick and a rabbit during a hunt on Easter Sunday.
Aficionado of the American buffalo and proud member of the Buffalo Warriors, a herd of beer-swilling trail runners and some of the finest humans and criminals on the planet.
"If you were looking for the definitive symbol of the conflict between the cultures that had existed in the American West for at least ten thousand years, and maybe longer, and the culture that was just a building East of the Mississippi River, this culture of technology, of commerce, of grasping after tomorrow before it arrives, you couldn't come up with two more powerful symbols than the Railroad, and the Buffalo, because when the Railroad met the Buffalo, the Iron Age met the Stone Age, the machine arrived in the garden, and the West was changed for ever." - T.H. Watkins
