North Dakota and Montana

The day began with biscuits and gravy and only improved from there.  By noon, I was sure I had plenty of material for Dog's Eye View's loyal readers (my three friends).  Now at the end of the day's drive, fed and resting, I don't even know where to begin.


Much like Christ the Redeemer stands watchfully over Rio de Janeiro, Salem Sue, ensures the safety of the several hundred souls that inhabit New Salem, ND.

Her stern glare serves as a warning to those who would bring evil into this great land.
We finally caught up with a herd of wild bison.  Apparently, they hang out around Teddy Roosevelt National Park.
 You can see some calfs here - no more than a few weeks old.
 Painted Canyon.



Pompey's Pillar - named after Sacajawea's son (nicknamed 'Pomp') by Lewis and Clark.  Apparently, if you're the first people (white people) to go some place you can name it and sign everything (see below).
The only physical evidence remaining of Lewis and Clark's trek across the west.  Penmanship could use some work, but I guess it's pretty hard to write in stone.
   



Here is where we're resting tonight - Livingston, MT.  More captions will follow tomorrow, after some sleep.  Then some more pictures.  We're just getting started...

  1. I remember Livingston. Stayed there on the way back to Seattle from Syracuse. Let me know if/when you pass through the Seattle area.
