Timing is everything…

Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Medora, North Dakota

I didn’t know it existed until a couple of months ago… But on my quest for seeing all 50 States North Dakota was a must see this trip. Much to my surprise I found a National Park here… and boy am I glad!!

The park consists of both a South unit and a North unit, the latter of which we spent last night exploring. Today, the south unit… Enjoy the following photo dump of our last 2 days & our sunset scooter rides!! ๐Ÿ˜ (go all the way to the end, there is a “grand finale” ๐Ÿ˜‰) Keep in mind most of these pictures (all of the wildlife ones) were taken from the back seat of a scooter in motion, so quality is lacking in some.

I still can’t believe I let Derek talk me into this scooter (aka motorcycle ๐Ÿ˜ณ)

Can you find Jenny in this pic?
Prarie Dogs are so entertaining ๐Ÿ˜‚
Path used by both humans & buffalo… no thanks!
We saw dozens and dozens of Buffalo! They were everywhere, including about 100yds from out campsite! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
We were in the RV, thankfully!
They really do cause traffic jambs!

Longhorns were unexpected!
Felt like I was in a giant sand castle ๐Ÿฐ ๐Ÿ˜

This last photo is a BIG deal…this is one of two Big Horn Sheep we saw, right beside the road. According to several Park Rangers, it’s very rare to have a sheep sighting, and almost never one so close! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ It’s been fun showing off my photo, they’re very impressed…feeling pretty special ๐Ÿคฉ

BIG HORN SHEEP!

So, all of the delays of the day, missed exits, frustrating mishaps, the go back & get something we forgot…they all led us to these moments. We were in the right place at just the right time!!
