Bully for North Dakota & Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Long day of driving through Minnesota and across North Dakota. We are now just over 2000 miles in our trip log. We are staying in Medora, ND, a small town just outside Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Tonight we stay at a funky combination western bookstore (a very good western bookstore at first glance) and motel called the Amble Inn. Tomorrow we go into the park for two days of camping/hiking/biking. On the way in we stopped at Painted Rocks which is part of the park. It offers a scenic overview of the formations of the Badlands.

This morning we for the third time got hit with rain showers just as we were packing up. Enough time for a nice breakfast and to start organizing and then a rain shower. Just enough to cause us to scurry more than we wanted to get the things that were pulled out of the car for morning packing back in and just enough to get the tent fly wet. It also brought out the Minnesota Mosquito convention. We will not miss the mosquitos, even though between the screen shelter, DEET, and citronella candles we put up a good fight.
