Making our way to Glacier
July 1, 2008
To Canada!
We have traveled 1500 miles,
plus or minus, and find ourselves in the lovely state of Montana where we arrived this evening.
Earlier today we traveled through North Dakota, stopping at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, an amazing but relatively unknown national park. It was a comfortable 83 degrees when we arrived but climbed to a sizzling 96-98 during our visit! The Little Missouri River cuts through the park and has a lovely oxbow turn with a scenic overlook vista.
We took some lovely shots there and actually had to stop while a herd of buffalo crossed the road, not once but twice during our drive! At the very furthest tip where we could see the best view, a small area no bigger than 6 square feet, there were buffalo hoof prints! I was being so careful of that precipice and here was this gigantic creature, viewing the sights just a short time before me! They must be more agile than I would have thought! Tomorrow we drive to St Mary’s on the eastern portion of Glacier National Park.
We have had a great trip so far despite some gusting winds and rain. The photographic opportunities have been plentiful and we have gotten some nice ones already. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers. Hope to continue the postings when we get good internet connections at our campsites. Here is the link to the park, enjoy!
