We had a long day of traveling down the road today. We were advised by the people who owned the campground in Bemidji to not keep going on Hwy 2 through North Dakota because of all the trucks and oil field workers that crowd the area from Minot, ND, all the way through the east part of Montana. We decided to head down to I-94 by Fargo and travel that route. We are not sorry we did even though it added a few extra miles to our trip. Traveling through North Dakota on I-94 has been very interesting. There were miles of flat country side that changed to fields that had random "hills" like someone dumped a pile of dirt from the sky. There were rolling hills with black Angus cows grazing over the country side, and then coming around a bend in the road just outside of Medora to discover Theodore Roosevelt National Park with the amazing views of the North Dakota Badlands with the Painted Canyons.
We couldn't believe the difference in just a of couple miles how the landscape changed. We are camping at Red Tail Campground with some views of buttes that we don't see in Michigan. It's a unique place to spend some time. Another day of sunshine for us, but in the distance to the south we could watch a very intense thunderstorm that we were glad we missed. We look forward to tomorrow and enjoying God's handiwork.
