Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota + Other N.D.

North Dakota. Isn't she gorgeous? Well, it's almost eastern Montana here, but still, North Dakota as far as eye can see: the Badlands!!!

Looking Southwest across the West-East flowing Little Missouri River, midmorning. The time zone boundary follows the river. The south, opposing shore is Mountain Time country. Is this is where the Real West starts for my trip? All around us -- ambient bison. This is How Things Always Looked Here, well, at least since the Ice Age. Neat, eh? America the Beautiful.

On the road again. Roosevelt National Park, North Unit, North Dakota.

The same herd surprised me head-on later in the day, cutting me off from my car at the campground. Made for a fascinating and unnerving on-the-hoof experience...
