North Dakota - Theodore Roosevelt National Park

We left South Dakota and headed for Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Medora, North Dakota.  The park was only $5/night to camp with our annual pass but it had no hookups at all.  We had a nice pull through:


Behind camp was a  river where several buffalo and wild horses were roaming:


or lounging in this case


The park landscape looked similar to SD Badlands and had areas named as such:


There were hundreds of wild horses throughout the park.  This one let us get close without getting spooked:


But this guy appeared rattled and very protective of it's colt:


The buffalo were also being very protective of their young as the moved away from us:


The park had several prairie dog cities with hundreds of the guys:


Since we had no hookups (no electricity) at all, we decided to go into town to grab a bite and hang out for a while at the Knotty Pine Peanut Bar.  6 hours later we had some new friends Ashley (chief cook & bartender), Shep & Eric.  Good times - thanks for the laughs!


We're off to Glacier National Park in Montana for a couple days, then north through Canada to Alaska.  More to come . . .
