Yesterday I dreamed up the idea I should go to Minot, ND today. Minot is approximately 150 kms or 90 miles away to the SE of my location. However, when the morning dawned and I became aware that the outside temperature was hovering at -23C with a windchill making things feel like -32C, it hit me there really isn't anything anywhere that I needed to see, do or buy. At least not today, a chilly Saturday before Christmas. What WAS I thinking?
Like Saskatchewan, North Dakota is one of those places most people just drive through in order to get somewhere else. I realized I hadn't seen much of it myself, so in July 2008, I toddled off in my RV to visit as many NWRs as I could in 10 days.
These photos were taken along Hwy #22 south through the Fort Berthold Indian Rez down to Killdeer. This is a designated scenic route (and it is a lovely stretch of road); also part of the Lewis & Clark trail too, I think.
Scrub prairie, east of the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt Nat'l Park
Some wild horses on a hill
This could be Cherry Creek - or something else

It's a land created by erosion into buttes, gullies and plains.
More to come. (click on photos to enlarge, if you want to)
