August 25-29th Medora, N. Dakota Theodore Roosevelt National Park

We arrived in Medora, ND August 25th and set up at Boots Campground in the National Park. Small simple place but clean and well kept. You go in the campground set up then drive into the little town (1 mile)  to Boots Bar and Grill, tell them how long you want to stay and pay.
We had ordered parts for our steps on the motor home so we ask the guy at the restaurant how we would receive since there was no office at the campground? He said oh they will deliver to the Boots home up on the hill just outside the campground. Scheduled delivery is on Thursday the 29th.
The next day 26th, we drove through the park in the car as it was 64 degrees and the wind was 30-35 MPH!! We tried to walk a few short trails but the wind was so bad at times I could hardly stand up!!!!
Still an incredible drive and the views were spectacular!!!
We went out again on the 27th temp was 79 degrees, sunny and hardly any wind. We went to the
Painted Canyon and walked the trail and took some great pics. This is a definite hidden gem of a place.
Went to Boots Bar and Grill for dinner we enjoyed a great Bison Burger!!! Hard to eat after you see these wooly ugly creatures up close!!! Lol. They are massive!! What I loved was the humongous villages of  Prairie dogs!! There was really millions of them. They walk right up to the car and look in !! If you start to open the door though they scurry back to their holes and stick their heads out to see if your coming!! Lol
Thursday we stayed home all day chores and waited for the UPS person to delivery the parts for our steps. Rod had the old one off and ready to put in when it arrived about 3:30pm. In an dhour stems were working properly again!! One more day here we are spending it in town there is just one more Cowboy Museum Rod must see before we head south again!!! Lol
Pulling out on Friday headed south to Bonneville Salts Flats!! The adventure continues.
Love to all, Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
