AUGUST 2013
This day would be about 300 miles. It was scenic, and full of long stretches of 2 lane roads, rolled hay, more long stretches of road, a train or two, gorgeous geological formations, a cow or two, and more. We would stop at Medora North Dakota for 2 nights and tour part of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Now, for some sightseeing:
Day started with a few horses, just grazing away:
Not far down the road:
The road stretches:
AND, stretches:
A lone tree atop a "hill", standing as a sentinel?
Near Edwards Montana, a homestead, which photo this gal took a bit of enhancement/artistic license with.
Between Jordan and Brockway, out in the middle of not much, other than gorgeous countryside:
More road, lots more road!
I do love the "painted" rock look, the layers. Mother Nature did a fine job painting, don't you think?
Just a bit further along, this different geology. It does not get old when it changes this much. The changing scenery keeps me ooohing and ahhhing and snapping photos till the battery in Sony needs changing.
And, look what passed us (not a bad capture when you figure we were both going about 70 MPH):
Of course there were trains, nice long ones, they seem to go as far as the eye can see, maybe longer.
By this time we were off the 2 lane highways and on I -94, east of Glendive.
Hey bud, you got some good stash, you know, good grass? Ooops, sorry. Wrong story line.:
About half way between the Montana/North Dakota state line and Medora, some red, I do love me some red.
Almost off the road for the day, but that road keeps stretching eastward - -
Medora was a fun stop, and the Theodore Roosevelt National Park (south) was gorgeous. It is high on our "must return" list. You know it was great when I took 310 photos in one day!
