Theodore Roosevelt NP, drive to Bismarck

Drove to Theodore Roosevelt NP, but it was freaking hot! Car showed anywhere from 101-106 while we were there. There are buffalo all over the place here, they didn’t seem to be enjoying the heat much either.  It’s very scenic, kind of like the badlands in South Dakota with a river at the bottom and, again, lots of buffalo.

We did a short, half mile hike, hoping to walk in the river, but there was no access. So we just did the scenic drive loop and headed out. It was a good stop, nice to stretch our legs a bit, even though the planet Venus would probably be cooler.

We stopped in Dickinson, ND about halfway to Bismarck, and ate at Los Cabos, good Mexican food. Tomorrow we will attempt to drive home.
