Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota

We decided to stay another night in Dickinson, ND, to visit Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It was quite warm, around 98 degrees, so we didn't do a lot of hiking around the park. I also was able to use my senior national park pass for the second time!

The Little Missouri River was barely flowing. It's amazing how dry everything is, not just here, but everywhere! We saw some buffalo, wild horses, a few birds, prairie dogs and antelope.

The park wasn't very crowded. Part of the road was closed for construction, so we couldn't complete the whole south loop. The leaves are also starting to change color.

It sure was a nice break from doing one-night stays, that's for sure.

Dining Phat Fish Dickenson

 Decided to go out and eat. Saw this restaurant Phat Fish Brewery on a billboard and thought we would try it out. We were tired from the road and didn't feel like cooking anything.

It was super busy on a Saturday night. I wasn't impressed at all!

We ordered drinks, but the beer I had was flat and warm, so I couldn't drink it. We also ordered appetizers, and then about 20 minutes later we ordered our pizza. The pizza came after about 30 minutes, but the appetizers still hadn't arrived. When we asked the waitress, she seemed to have forgotten about them. They finally arrived when we were almost done with the pizza.

Would I go back? Maybe. Would I recommend the place, maybe. The food was good, but the service sucked.

North Park RV Dickenson North Dakota

 We have arrived at our next stop, Dickinson, ND. To regroup, we are staying at the North Park RV Campground for two nights. The park is set on 80 acres and has park models and long-term residents.

Remember the speed limit is 9 3/4!!! Not 10! It is 88 degrees this evening, and we had a smooth trip with no wind! It is just starting to get a little windy this evening.

Swans and moving America

 I saw some swans as we left the campsite at Detroit Lakes! 

Moving America! Trains, what RV spot would not be complete without either trains, or an airport or some type of highway noise. These trains were on the way out of Detroit Lakes, had to take a picture of some of the artwork on the trains.
