Our second and final stop in North Dakota ended at Teddy Roosevelt National Park. My trusty little Canon PowerShot S410 did its best to capture the wide vistas, but I’m sure a wide angle lens with more pixels at sunrise or sunset would have made for better photos. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our time in this National Park.
It’s time to start buying plane tickets again, but this week I am remembering past trips while anticipating future ones. Also, if foreign travel is not in the cards this year, this diverse country of ours offers many places to visit.
After our attending our daughter’s college graduation in Minnesota, I knew that this was my best opportunity to visit my last two states. We rented a PT Cruiser and headed to North Dakota.
Our first tourist stop landed us in the middle of the state on I-94 in Mandan. Here we visited Fort Abraham Lincoln. Visitors can view a replica Mandan Village called On-A-Slant, named because the land sloped toward the river.
Also in this park is the last house where Custer lived before his infamous defeat.
