Day 8-10 ~ All the way across North Dakota

Long flat state ... until over a hill we see ...  the Badlands!


Water!  They really need it here

As far as you can see ... F LA T

Thousands of SUNFLOWERS!!!
Badlands in the distance
That's one HUGE cow on that there hill !!
 
More sunflower pictures for my Brittany  :-)



This is really random on I-94 (yes the same I-94 that runs through D-troit)

We came over a small hill on the freeway and this was the view!  amazing

Downtown Medora ~ which was pretty much CLOSED for the season

Quaint little town







If you look really close; you can see the BRIDE entering St. Mary's for a 1:30 wedding mass; not a cloud in the sky for her wedding day.  There was actually two weddings.  One had the groomsman in cowboy hats, black suit coats and blue jeans.
Pretty tree

Yep !  That is a Prairie Dog and something the huge Bison left behind

Hi There!








M O O N  ~  pretty sky


Look !!  it is Dan!!

The Badlands take on many different shapes and colors



My Mini in the Badlands !

Looks pretty desolate



Strange shapes

Bison









 PRAIRIE DOG TOWN!





Thousands of them


Not much water in the Little Missouri


 


On our final night at the National Park, we enjoyed a sunset drive seeing more Bison, Mule Deer, Prairie Dogs and beautiful skies



Crazy !











Who said Bison were not too smart; the Bison at the far end of the road stayed there on the road until all the other Bison crossed to the ranch side of the road...protective?


These are some big boys about 2,000 lbs.

Mule deer

The drought has almost dried up the whole river bed
