There is not enough of a signal here to post many pictures but I'll try a couple. We are camping for the third consecutive night which is a record!
We are staying in a campground that is located five miles into the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It's very quiet here compared to our other sites. The park is amazingly beautiful and wildlife abundant. The park reminds me of a green lush version of Badlands National Park. It takes a lot of effort to get here which is probably why the park is less visited than other National Parks. Roosevelt first visited the area in 1883 and after becoming President established the the U.S. forest service and signing the Antiquities Act under which he proclaimed 18 national monuments. He also got Congressional approval for the establishment of five national parks and 51 wildlife refuges and set aside land as national forests. The Theodore Roosevelt was one of the five national parks he created.
We survived yet another severe thunder storm. This picture was taken from the truck following a huge down pour.
Lastly I took this clandestine picture of one of the many cowboys having dinner at the local bar and grill where we had a burger. There was a rodeo in town so although the service was painfully slow - there was a lot of cowboy eye candy!
More updates to come.
Have a good one -
Jim
How Brokeback Mountain of you!
