Day 4


Today, we traveled from Bismarck, ND to Billings, MT, stopping at Theodore Roosevelt National Park along the way. Today's drive was a lot shorter in total mileage than the previous days, which was a nice  change. We also "picked up" an hour, as we moved from the central time zone into the mountain time zone.

Along the way, we some interesting things, like the giant dream-catcher below, and a giant cow on the top of a mountain. Unfortunately, the picture of the cow didn't come out too good!


Theodore Roosevelt National Park was a lot like Badlands National Park in South Dakota, which we had visited a number of years ago. Of course, we have the requisite picture of Josh in front of the park entrance sign, and along the way, we ran into these guys:




We continued on into Montana, to our campground in Billings. 



When we got there, it looked like it was going to rain, so we waited for a while until the weather passed and then we set up camp. A few rounds of miniature golf, and then it was time to call it a day. Unfortunately, it rained during the night, but not too heavily and we stayed dry in the tent. 

We're on our way this morning to Glacier National Park. It should be about a 6 - 7 hour drive, and the good news, is that once we get there, we're staying for five nights, so we won't have to break down our camp for a while ... it will be nice to be in one place.

Not sure what kind of connectivity we're going to have once we get there, but hopefully I'll be able to keep the blog updated and to stay in touch back home.
