Best Western The Jordan Inn Glendive

I drove over to Teddy Roosevelt National Park, near Mandan, and drove around the loop. This is the time of year when it has the most color. It was interesting to me to see the same places I saw last April, when it was winter. Quite a difference. I enjoyed watching the cute, fat prairie dogs. They whistled their alarms when they saw me and the air was filled with the sound of their whistles. Saw the bison, and one wild mustang.

First of all, Medora is in the middle of nowhere. It is also a very beautiful spot in the Badlands of North Dakota. Without the Theodore Roosevelt NP, not sure it would still be in existence.

Someone decided this would be a great place for a high end daily fee golf course. The Bully Pulpit golf course can be played individually ($85) or part of a trilogy of courses in North Dakota for $140. One course is in ...

... the Elkhorn. This became his principal residence and a place where he could lead the 'strenous' life that he loved.

By spending time in the Dakota Territory, he became alarmed at the damage that was being done to the land and its wildlife. He witnessed the destruction of some big game species. Overgrazing destroyed the grasslands and with them the habitats for ...

Here's some photos along the drive from Montana to Wisconsin. The buffalo was not staged, he was gone right after I took the picture. A guy at the park suggested I take a short hike down into the valley, I'm really glad I did. It was beautiful.

The gentleman at the service station spent a great deal of time trying to fix the sound from the engine this morning and finally we decided I could make it to Billings which was a few hours away but at least there would be a ford dealership there. Our whole trip here passed uneventful until we took our first turn to the KOA and then stalled ! We limped into the KOA as each time we slowed down ...

After finding the the restrooms at the rest stop where we had slept were locked at 5AM, we got back on the road in earnest and by 10:30AM we had made it to Glendive, just about 35 miles from North Dakota.  We were making good time and were in need of a stretch and a short walk, so we checked out Makoshika State Park, which was really cool!  The geology was amazing; we felt like we had ...

I had a weekend off, and drove from Bismarck, ND, through some of the North Dakota badlands, across the Lake Sakajawea bridge at New Town, ND, to Williston, to visit my brother Paul and his family.

On the way out of town, I saw people playing Sandbar Golf in the ...

... seeing. Too Bad we didn't get to look around...since we ended up leaving at 3:00 in the stinkin' morning! So....to make a long story short: we paid 12 bucks to sleep on a picnic table(Lazy bums can't be bothered to set up a tent in the dark) at a campsite that none of the water pumps worked.

... flirted pretty much the entire time, but when it came down to it, it was all fun and games. There is always something to be said for being single when you travel. You can hang around with who ever you want and don't have to worry about upsetting anyone. Been catching up on some sleep today, actually that being said we all are. Seems everyone has been tired and napping of and on all day. Just been an exciting couple of weeks, because no mater where we ...
