Theodore Roosevelt National Park - the North Unit

 

During our big RV trip the summer that we moved to Wyoming, one of our unexpected favorite sites was Theodore National Park in northwest North Dakota.  The park is about 5.5 hours from our home, and we have talked about going back for several years.  After church on Memorial Day weekend, we spontaneously joined friends Troy & Melissa for a quick overnight truck camping trip.

Jordan built a platform in the back of his SUV to fit a mattress, and we stored our cooking and hiking gear in the bins below.  It was surprisingly comfortable!

The north, and often un-visited, side of the Park was beautiful.  We spent a wonderful morning driving the loop, watching buffalo and antelope, and bracing against the wind. 

We are so grateful for these two, who are always up for an adventure - and never mind us crashing their party!
