We slept in this morning & it felt good. Got on the road about 9:30 and paralleled the Yellowstone River most of the way to the North Dakota border. As we traveled across North Dakota, the terrain changed from mountains to hilly grasslands to flat farms.

Mile 7 found us passing “Home on the range” – the place looked like it fit the song.

At mile 36 in ND, we stopped at the visitor center for Theodore Roosevelt National Park and viewed the painted canyon. This picture was taken there. The 30 second video below is an attempt to show the vastness of this part of the country.

Lunch found us at New Salem, ND where we gassed up ($2.799) and ate lunch at a local cafe – Sunset Inn – had breakfast w/homemade sausage YUM! Saw the 36′ tall cow (Sweet Sue) from several miles away and it guided us right in.

Got to Fargo about 6pm – tired but satisfied with the day’s progress and pleased with the discoveries along the way.
