Once, the town of Ingomar , in central Montana was a bustling rail head for shipping sheep and wool. Now it is almost deserted. We drove on these roads in Montana for almost 100 miles, without passing another vehicle. Great road, smooth and straight and no traffic.

Near Miles City, Montana is The Range Rider's Museum. It is interesting to visit a museum which captures life as it was a hundred years ago.

We camped in Dickinson, North Dakota and watched a terrific cloud formation. This cloud was so large, it covered half the entire state of North Dakota. By the way, the Elk's Club in Dickinson has terrific meals and is open to the public.

We again toured Theodore Roosevelt Park. The terrain is rough and rugged. Teddy said without his time spent in North Dakota he would never have had the courage nor the endurance to run for President. All we can say is...”Bully!”

Duluth, Minnesota has a famous elevated bridge structure. It was built by the Corps of Engineers. We cannot imagine the depth of snows here in the winter. They are over our height.
