If you like Adventure Sports Podcast, then you'll love the Travel South Dakota Stories podcast. You can find their episodes anywhere you get podcasts. Today we're featuring The Fall and Rise of the Buffalo. Feel the ground rumble and the dust fly as sixty cowboys and cowgirls saddle up to bring in a thundering herd of 1,300 buffalo at the 57th Annual Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup. But we’re not just watching it, we are in the thick of it as we get thrown around on the back of a truck chasing the herd across the wide-open plains. Listen to one of the riders Molly as she cracks her whip and corals the galloping beasts. We also meet Lakota rider and manager of Bear Butte State Park, Jim Jandreau, who tells us what the buffalo means to the Lakota people.At the end of the long and tiring ride we join Molly’s 87-year-old dad, who had just taken part in his 53rd roundup.Along the way we discover that although the roundup harks back to a different time, the adventurous spirit of South Dakotans that has been a way of life for centuries still lives on. And that spirit is infectious.“You’re experiencing what you see on TV and the old western movies, the buffalo roaming across the prairie like that. It's that old west tradition that you don't see anywhere else in the world.” – Matt Snyder, Superintendent of Custer State ParkMore info about the Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup can be found at travelsouthdakota.com.Our Sponsors:* ASP15* Check out Caldera + Lab and use my code ASP for a great deal: https://calderalab.com/* Check out Green Chef: https://www.greenchef.com/60asp and use code 60asp to get 60% off plus free shipping.* Check out Oris Watches: https://www.oris.ch* Check out Oris Watches: https://www.oris.ch* Check out Visit Yosemite: https://www.travelyosemite.com/go/stay-in-the-heart-of-the-park/?mkwid=sgd1e0wCg&crid=434047637517&mp_kw=yosemite%20village&mp_mt=b&gclid=Cj0KCQjwi7GnBhDXARIsAFLvH4k_B2ZterEiLC55wCA6c0yjiQM8SEH_vWkd7vHMcj6DDpdxHcs5sBkaAhfBEALw_wcBSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
