The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers

Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a United States National Park comprising three geographically separated areas of badlands in western North Dakota. The park was named for U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. The park covers 70,446 acres of land in three sections: the North Unit, the South Unit, and the Elkhorn Ranch Unit.The park's larger South Unit lies alongside Interstate 94 near Medora, North Dakota. The smaller North Unit is situated about 80 miles north of the South Unit, on U.S. Highway 85, just south of Watford City, North Dakota. Roosevelt's Elkhorn Ranch is located between the North and South units, approximately 20 miles west of US 85 and Fairfield, North Dakota. The Little Missouri River flows through all three units of the park. The Maah Daah Hey Trail connects all three units. |

The Wind Canyon Trail is a 0.5 mile loop trail. The two RV Gypsies enjoyed hiking this nature trail alongside a wind-sculpted canyon for the best view of the Little Missouri River the South Unit has to offer. |

Below three photos: Lee Duquette's sharp eyes saw a lone bison way far away. Karen Duquette zoomed in to check it out. |
|
And still more bison, but again, just black dots far away. |

Bison in the road (the car window of the two RV Gypsies still had cracks in it from Yukon and Alaska roads - as does their RV). |
|
Finally, bison close enough to be more than a dark spot in the far distance. |
