The view from our site<\/p><\/div>278 miles via I-94, MT 47 and I-90 with a refueling stop in Forsyth MT. Cumulative tow miles: 1427. Truck miles: 351. Cumulative truck miles: 1929.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Our North Dakota home was the Red Trail Campground<\/a> 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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

North Dakota is our 40th state.<\/p>\n
