Theodore Roosevelt National Park

We are camped at a commercial campground in Glasglow, MT.   after driving all day with windy conditions.  We also went through the area of North Dakota that is doing all the shale oil drilling.   It was a real mess with all the trucks on the highway, traffic jams, road building, and the lack of services like gas stations and grocery stores.  If you want a job there are plenty here.   For lunch we had $7.00 cheeseburgers  at a little roadside trailer on the North Dakota and Montana state line.   Very good but expensive.  Yesterday we camped in the Theodore Roosevelt NP.  Camped at a park campground which was along the Little Missouri river.  It was a bargain at only $5 per night for seniors.  In the evening we took the 20 mile loop to see the scenery and wildlife.   Seen wild horses but didn't get very good pics  because it was getting dark and they were running fast.

Abraham Lincoln state park Mamdan, ND

Last night we camped at the Crow Wing state park close to Baxter, MN on the banks of the Mississippi river.  We hiked along the river.   Today we traveled to Bismark ND.  We are now camped at the Abraham Lincoln state park on the banks of the Missouri river.  There is a cavalry post here that housed the 7th Cavalry and its Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer.  Weather great today

Michigan porcupine mountains state park

Thursday we seen the Tahquemenon falls.  Spent the night at woodland park campground in Grand Marais overlooking a Lake Superior beach.   Friday we drove  thru Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore  seeing what we didn't have to walk very far too.  The way to see the beautiful shoreline  is on a lake cruise which we didn't take.  Rained most of the day.  We are spending the night at Porcupine mountains state park which is overlooking lake Superior.  Beautiful campground.
