Still Traveling but Encountering Some Internet Problems

I wanted to post last night. I really did, even though we are now two hours behind our normal Eastern Time Zone; and the post would have been dated Sunday. But there was a problem with the internet connection in the hotel where we're staying in Dickinson, ND. There was also a slight problem with my husband, who thought I really shouldn't stay on the computer all night.

Anyway, we arrived in Dickinson on Saturday afternoon, booked a hotel, then went on down the road to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which I will shorten to TRNP  from now on for the sake of my fingers.

We drove the 36-mile loop road of the TRNP South Unit, and it was so much fun. We saw wild horses, elk, mule deer, bison, prairie dogs, and a badger looking for a meal in one of the prairie dog towns. And there was a beautiful sunset to top off the day.

Unfortunately, the sunset occurred when we were only about half-way around the loop, so we may go back today to finish that trip in daylight. We also plan to visit the North Unit of TRNP, which involves a 14-mile drive. This one isn't a loop, so we'll be retracing our route when we reach the end of the road.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday:
