Greetings from the Great Forks Campground, just a bit outside the city of Great Forks, ND. We've now been in ND for a couple days, but thanx to some (no, a lot) communications difficulties in the area, I've fallen behind (again) on keeping you posted on our latest adventures.
So...before we give you the ND report, here's something from Montana.
We may have mentioned this to some of you before, but one of the pleasures of traveling around the country is discovering things that were not part of the plan. As we were rolling down the highway toward our next planned stop in Glendive, MT, Deb happened upon a description of a State Park which she read to all of us. We decided to book two nights in the area in order to have a day available to devote to this site and we were all so very happy to have made that decision.
Makoshika State Park is known as the Badlands of Eastern Montana and is the largest of all the Montana State Parks. It is the site of many archeological finds and the rock formations (mostly the work of the Yellowstone River and its tributaries) are just breathtaking. We spent hours exploring several areas where it was possible to do so without getting into any extreme conditions (no more 3 mile hikes in the wind and cold for now than you). There are not a lot of captions attached to these photos and there are a number of shots that are different views or exposures of the same formations - just an attempt to give you a better sense of what we observed.
As always, we're happy to have you joining us and we hope you enjoy the photos.
