Badlands of North Dakota

Hi, We left Tom and Dennis's yesterday. We had a great time with them. Lots of laughs and delicious meals. We drove across North Dakota in the rain to Dickinson, ND. I saw a double rainbow.
Today we are staying in Medora, ND in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which is in the Badlands of ND. It's a tourist town, western style. We drove the 36 mile Scenic Loop Drive through the South Unit of the Park. The scenery, wilderness and wildlife is unbelieveable. We saw Buffalos, Prairie Dogs, an Antelope and wild Horses. Jack is standing on top of a hike trail overlooking the Little Missouri River.
Tonight we are having Pitchfork Steak Fondue. The chefs load ribeye steaks onto pitchforks and fondue them western style in hugh vats of Sunflower Oil, while we will be serenaded with western melodies by cast members of the Medora Musical. Yahoo!!
The weather is beautiful and we will be here till sunday. Hope everyone is well. Love Gail
