Episode One: "The Rise and Fall 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! Along the way, we discover that although the roundup harks back to a different time, the adventurous spirit of South Dakotans – which has been a way of life for centuries – still lives on. And that spirit is infectious.
