I thought I had posted these but I cant find them SO I will post them all again These are from last year.
Sun Sept. 23rd, the first day, Coleen and I drove to Fargo N. Dakota. We stopped at a rest area in Wisconsin and as luck would have it, there was a historical marker about a fire. A picture was required
The next day we drove west to Theodore Roosevelt Nat. Park. It is just west of Dickinson N.D. where we spent the night. Neither Coleen nor I had ever been here before and we found it to be a very fascinating place.
It is kind of an odd mixture of desolate badlands and canyons, to green forests and valleys.
There were some very cool rock formations
We saw limited wildlife
but the skies were overcast and the wind was ferocious.
Teddy Roosevelt is a two section park. We did the south unit one day then got up and hit the road to the north unit. We saw deer as we entered the park and drove only a couple miles before we saw a HUGE old bull bison
One of my favorite animals is buffalo. I wanted very much to see as many as possible on this trip. When I had been out this way as a child 36 years ago, we saw a few but they seemed very scarce. So we made a point of taking lots of buffalo pictures.
We also saw more beautiful scenery along the way.
