May 24, 2007 – Travel To North Dakota

Another incredible day!! Every day has mouth dropping scenery and all we keep saying is – WOW. And every day, we feel so blessed to be able to see the sights.

As we left the Black Hills, the landscape changed to the rolling hills and grasslands.

Yes, the road goes on and on. That hill is actually 15 miles away from where we took the picture.

This is America’s range where the cattle and other animals roam free. We saw deer, mule deer, antelope, cattle, sheep, buffalo and lots of them (and their babies, too).

I think this is where they wrote the song: “Home on the Range”.

When we pulled onto I-94 in North Dakota, they were moving a church:

Traffic moved very slowly and then stopped until they took down the power lines.

Now I-94 is not like I-80 or 81. There is not a lot of traffic here. Towns are far and few and when you get off the interstate, you are more likely to go onto a dirt road. In fact, most county roads are dirt or gravel. What an adventure this is!!!

We arrived at Theodore Roosevelt National Park (South Unit) and we are camped by the Little Missouri River.

As we took a stroll around the campground, we had a visitor with us:



Yes, he was close and we were careful.

The evening ended with another wonderful campfire surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Thank you, God!!!
