It was a cool morning with the temperature in the low 50's. Ferny Kat was all cuddled up with us, snoring this morning, when Lauren woke her up. Pay back for all those mornings she woke Lauren out of a deep sleep, which by the way, doesn't happen very often.
It was a beautiful morning as we watched a flock of turkeys walking in our yard, while eating breakfast.
We rode a few miles east on I 94 to Teddy Roosevelt National Park. There were big piles of hail leftover from last nights thunderstorm and leaves covering the ground that had been knocked out of the trees. Luckily, our weather wasn't that bad last night.
We were very impressed with Roosevelt's cabin. It was small, but all you really need to live comfortably.
It was a very pretty 36 mile ride through the Badlands in the park, watching thousands of prairie dogs, lots of buffalo, wild horses, and one buck . It had a lot more greenery than the Badlands in South Dakota.
We had a great picnic lunch in the Cottonwood Picnic Area, motored the last 5 miles of the park, then headed through downtown Medora to catch I 94 east.
We took in some more gorgeous scenery at the Painted Canyon Visitor Center where we watched several wild horses on a ledge across the canyon.
It was time to head to the camper. We decided to make one last stop to check out a boon docking spot.
We got on I 94 west then took some gravel roads on Amber, The Asphalt Queen, to check out another good looking boondocking area. It was secluded and beautiful. Our kind of place.
We saw the dark skies in the direction of home. We pulled over, put on our rain gear, and toughed it out. Luckily, it was only 14 miles to the camper and only hard rain, not lightening and hail.
We hung up all our wet clothes in the garage, watched the lightening bolts dancing in the dark skies, thought we were done for the day, then this beautiful rainbow appeared on the hill. We love rainbows.
We took a short stroll, grilled some pork chops and sweet potatoes while Ferny Kat explored the jungle in our back yard.
It cooled off fast tonight. We are inside with all the windows closed thinking about turning on the heater.
