September 19 and 20

Yesterday we drove from Forsyth, Montana, where we had camped the night before.

Our destination was Theodore Roosevelt Natl Park in North Dakota. We traveled out of east Montana into North Dakota. Scenery was mostly rolling hills, farms, and some rivers.

Ever wonder where “ home on the range”is? There is an exit for it off of I 94 in North Dakota.

Today we spent the day exploring TRNP. There are two sections to the park separated by 60 miles. We are camping in the south section and drove to the north section through undulating hills covered in grasses (the largest grasslands in the USA) dotted with round hay bales, and fields of corn and sunflowers with a few scattered small oil wells. We have often seen small herds of antelope.

After the rolling grasslands, it was such a beautiful surprise to see buttes, canyons, the Little Missouri river, and the beautiful cottonwoods in TRNP. Here are some pictures from our day.

Prairie dig—there hundreds
