You made me laugh with your comment "What is it about these North Dakotans and the world’s largest theme?" You scored a gorgeous site, and the national park looks fabulous. Glad to hear you're back in a place that makes you really happy. :-)Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-7311671373388065242014-07-23T13:11:11.659-04:002014-07-23T13:11:11.659-04:00Yep, if we EVER get out of Indy area, we are heade...Yep, if we EVER get out of Indy area, we are headed that way!

And I love the campsite youi chose with the long drive in and out and the fabulous yard where we cannot even see another camper but have giant cottonwood trees that have been used as scratching posts by the bison. They even left some hair (or is it fur) to prove it. Love this park already.

I would've been exactly the same way. Can't wait to see this National Park through your eyes. And those pics of empty interstate highways brought tears of longing to my eyes. Just don't see that in the East. BTW, I love your pics and descriptions of travel days. Wish you would always do that. Guess it's the Road Trip Warrior part of me coming out - a trait I've learned you and I DON'T have in common!
