North Dakota Trip Conclusion

Our trip to North Dakota was awesome. In all we drove 3,230 miles in nine days. 853 miles on the last day. Quite a lot of driving in a short amount of time.. We drove through eight states, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa. Most importantly Jack has now been to North Dakota and has visited all 50 states. He is happy about that. The weather was perfect for almost the whole trip. There was only one day at the start of the trip of poor weather but after that it was sunny and pretty much cloudless the whole trip. We could not have asked for better weather.

The highlights of the trip were arriving in North Dakota, Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, and the Black Hills of South Dakota. It would be nice to spend more time in both the Theodore Roosevelt National Park area and the Black Hills area. There are a lot more things to do that we just did not have time to do. I would have liked to had time to do more hiking. The black hills of SD could be a vacation destination in itself. A two week trip would have been ideal.

All in all it was a successful trip and we are glad we went.


Now Jack is talking about a trip back to Yellow Stone National park....

Today we are cleaning up and recovering from all the driving. I will sort through the gazillion pictures we took. I will post any more interesting ones I find. This was my first attempt at blogging. I think it worked out ok.

Just curious who (if anyone) is viewing this blog?

Thanks for reading.
