North Dakota Badlands

Theodore Roosevelt National Park

We woke this morning in Fargo, North Dakota to hot, dry winds. A coyote ran across our campsite when I opened the door. We began our drive west very early with a plan to arrive at our destination early. Not far out of the city we saw an enormous moose in a small pond right off the freeway.

Much of the drive was through heavy thunderstorms, which slowed us down considerably. We arrived at Medora, ND two hours later than originally planned. After a quick meal we drove to the South Unit of the Teddy Roosevelt National Park. It is incredibly beautiful and filled with animals. Go Home growled at the prairie dogs, buffalo, wild horses, elk and deer along the way.

We plan to spend a couple of days here before heading on.

Amazing landscape and you did a good job with the dappled light. Doesn't look so bad covered with greenery.
