Day 13 and Day 14 and how we met the buffalo

Today, we finally had an appointment with Country Auto Clinic to find out what was wrong with the RV.

While waiting we camped out at McDonalds, while the kids did some school work.

Several hours later, we had 2 new spark plugs and a new coil installed, and we headed down I-94 toward the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. 

Our Route:

I-94 West from Bismarck, ND to Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Trip Total: 130 miles

Distance Total: 2090 miles

These are fields of sunflowers

Once we got there we stopped at the Painted Canyon Visitor's Center right outside the park. What a fantastic view.

We stayed for the night inside the park's Cottonwood Canyon.

Amazing!

The Bison were walking thru the campsites.

Nursing in the road.

There was a scenic 36 mile loop road that we drove down for a ways while we still had some daylight. Just to see what we could see.

Adam loved this area. He could run down the trails and see forever.

Another sweet pic

Look at the colors of the soil here. There is black coal too.

See it on the edges?

This was incredibly steep.

All the difference colored rocks.

I was pretty excited about being here too. 

This is our campsite. 

It's very remote looking.
