Where the buffalo roam....

A few weeks ago we both had a Saturday off, so we went for a drive. We drove about 40 miles West on I-94 to a small town called Medora. It's pretty much closed right now for the winter, but it was really fun to drive around and see the old style buildings, and the town. We came across the Visitor's Center for the Theodore Roosevelt National Park and since some of the roads are still closed due to Snow, it was free to drive through and see the wildlife, views and the area. After looking around at the visitor's center and checking out the Cabin that has some actual Theodore Roosevelt belongings in it, we went for a drive through the Park. We didn't see a ton of wildlife, but a few, Darin had actually made the comment that he was disappointed because none of the buffalo were close to the road at all. We went as far as we could, then turned around and headed for home. Shortly before exiting the Park we were stopped in our tracks by Buffalo across the road. Of course, Jo was so excited to leave the house that morning that taking the camera completely skipped past her mind, so all we had to snap pictures with was the cell phone. I think they turned out okay!

We can't wait until Spring/Summer/Fall to go back into the Park, and hopefully take some friends with us. We keep hearing how beautiful it is.

Enjoy!
