He spent extra time making sure we got to see a herd of buffalo, when they were not easy to find. We enjoyed moving at our own pace with information about each place. He timed lunch perfect to avoid the rain. Our time at Mount Rushmore had perfect skies for pictures. He even added an extra view of the top of a mountain. He managed each personality in our group and made the day…”
