It was about time Ryan had a break from driving so I took the wheel for a while today. We left Deadwood, SD around 9:30 am and got to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota around 1 pm. The open roads and 75 MPH speed limit make for a fun drive. I then slowed down to about 20 MPH in the park. The park had some more fantastic views and crazy wild life. Wild horses and more bison were on the road, including right next to a visitor center where you had to walk close by a bison to get to the restrooms.
After a couple hours we got back on the highway and I drove into Montana so out of the two of us, one can say they drove in ND and one can't. I handed over driving duties soon after but I hope Ryan enjoyed being a passenger in a National Park as much as I did.
We have also seen a lot of highway animal casualties during this road trip but today marks the first time either of us has seen a huge porcupine on the side of the road, We didn't know they ran wild out here.
It was a long day in the car but this sunset welcomed us to Big Sky Country.
