Six bison walking on the road

This is going to be a major obstacle. Six bison are making their way along the road. Cars back up and slowly manage to pass the bison. There is a steep slope on the left and a river on the right - so no real place to go for bison. We try to work our way to the front of the line - but as soon as they see us, they get nervous and start to run. Great! How will we ever go past them if they don't go off the road. We try to get some escort from cars and RV's - but it doesn't work. But suddenly they pull up the steep slope and we cycle as fast as we can past them before they return to the road and continue their journey. Big relief we make it past them safely!
