August 19, 2010 – Day 7 (185.8 Miles).
We began our experience at Theodore Roosevelt National Park about 7 A.M. Shortly into the park was a buffalo acting as crossing guard in the middle of the road while members of the herd crossed. A picture moment. In another short distant more pictures were taken, this time of deer.
A little farther we took pictures and enjoyed many prairie dogs. As we travel through the park we came across multiple groups of buffalo and prairie dogs. Toward the end of the nearly trip, wild horse were discovered (more pictures). At the end more deer were spotted (not close enough for pictures). After approximately 3 hours we stopped at the visitor center for post cards & were given a guided tour of Roosevelt’s cabin. We hiked a few times for short distances. The Theodore Roosevelt National Park is definitely worth going though (the landscape is unique to see).
Then off to our next stop. Both N. Dakota and Montana the speed posted is 75 MPH. Even in the construction the posted speeds are 35, 45, 55, and even 65 MPH.
