We only stopped in ND for a few days. First place was Medora to see the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. He spent many years in the area before he was President. One fact that I didn't know about him is that he came to the area to mourn and heal. His wife and mother died the very same day. His wife from childbirth, his mother, typhoid fever. I can't imagine going thru something like that. One death is bad enough, but 2 on the same day, unbearable.
This is the first cabin that Roosevelt lived in when he first came to the area.
We saw lots of wild bison and horses. This guy looks like he is looking straight at me.
This bison was so close that I took this picture sitting in the truck, using no zoom at all. Glad he didn't feel like charging.
Views of the park
Also visited a summer house built in the early 1880's. It was only used a few months of the year. The owner considered it a cabin because he lived in a real castle the rest of the year. it was huge to Montana standards.
