Started the day with a stop @ my new favorite coffee shop in Dickinson: The Brew

Coffee lovers turned the oldest chapel in the city into espresso heaven. |

Next stop: Medora, ND. Teddy Roosevelt National Park
 |
http://www.nps.gov/thro/index.htm Sadly, horseback riding was closed for the season, but I've heard it is a beautiful way to experience the land. To see the South End of the park this time of year, hike 1 of 6 hiking trails or drive the 36-mile scenic loop. |
 |
Maltese Cross Cabin - Teddy's first Badlands home in 1884 |
Prairie Dog Town
| Black-tailed prairie dogs |
These cuddly creatures were reintroduced to the park in 1956.
 |
Teddy Roosevelt arrived in the Dakota Territory in 1883 intending to hunt. He fell in love with the rugged landscape and became alarmed by the damage being done to the land. The large herds of bison were nearly gone.
 |
After becoming President in 1901, Teddy signed the Antiquities Act which proclaimed 18 National Monuments, established 5 National Parks, and 51 wildlife refuges/national forests. |

Quaint town of Medora, ND |

We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside, No matter where you're from you just can't hide it... |

Remember now, don't squat with your spurs on :) |
