STW2 Hop 8
The view from our site
This was an easy hop in terms of navigation, a fast hop in terms of average speed and a long trip in terms of clock time (almost 4.5 hours). The day was hot and hazy, due to the Montana wildfires. The landscape – what we could see – was beautiful in a rugged way. I didn’t realize how rugged the land was out here in eastern Montana. How could I? I have never been to Montana before.
Our North Dakota home was the Red Trail Campground in Medora. This was an old campground, poorly maintained, with small, cramped sites. We will not return. But that is moot because it is highly unlikely that I will ever return to ND. I call it the “state I am least likely to visit again.”
But the campground, while not very likable, was in a very likable location. The view from our site was very nice, Medora was an interesting small town and the shot I got at sunset as I crossed the railroad tracks made the stay memorable. Unfortunately I was crossing the tracks to go to a bar to watch the Patriots lose. Very sad.
North Dakota is our 40th state.
