Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Made the journey to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, South Unit, yesterday with two co-workers who are also recent NorCal transplants to Bismarck.  It's only a couple hours down West I-94, a little over 20 miles from Montana.  The park is home to prairie dogs, small herds of buffalo, petrified forests, and other interesting sights and activities.  Here is what we saw.

There's nothing like rolling through a herd of 1500 pound grunting bison in a tiny dilapidated Toyota Corolla of questionable mechanical reliability.






This is Medora, at the park entrance.

Trail Across Prairie


I don't know what this is.  It looks like a small tree branch cross-section, fossilized.
