We had some rain overnight but it didn’t hinder us packing up and heading to Medora, ND. While we were driving, we discovered that the Dakotas don’t pave all their highways. Who knew!! Endured 40 miles of unpaved, gravel roads but our little “DragOn” took it like a champ. Terrain changed once again;hundreds of miles of rolling prairie sprawled in front of us speckled with herds of cattle and sheep. Then ever so often a mountain would spring up. North Dakota became more mountainous with more cattle and oil wells, even saw an occasional pronghorn. Learned what “cattle guards” are, wide grating that keeps the cows from crossing the road and shakes the crap out of your vehicle. We ate a lot of dust but the scenery was way more interesting than driving the interstate. We made it to our little campground in Medora covered in golden road dirt. Quiet place surrounded by hills to them, mountains to us. Just wanted to relax tonight in preparation for exploring Teddy Roosevelt Natl Park tomorrow.
Ps Thankful for kind, thoughtful neighbors who keep an eye on your house & plants when you are gone. Also fix your sprinkler when you spring a leak. Thanks, Bob!!
