Change of Scenery

We spent our last full day in Montana yesterday in Miles City. We toured the Range Riders Museum, a place that gives an in-depth look at the history, artifacts and people that made Miles City the place it is today.The Range Riders Organization was founded in 1939 by a group of stockmen who wanted the area's history preserved. They have done an excellent job! Great museum.
DH enjoyed the extensive gun and ammo collection, all of the early pioneer's tools, stories about the early formation of the area, and interaction with the Native American people there.
Monday morning we continued east, amid the intermittent showers, crossing into North Dakota before noon. We have been on Virgin Roads since Billings, having never traveled this way on I 94 before. The scenery changes drastically,
The skies are not so blue, the water's not crystal clear and Turquoise. Theres plenty of rocky cliffs, beautiful golden Canola and fresh cut hay and wheat fields. We stopped in Medora, having heard excellent things about this area, situated amongst the Beautiful Bad Lands and Theodore Roosevelt's National Park

After a little poking around tomorrow, we will be pressing on over to Dickenson N.D. and settling down for a week. We've been on the road for 4 days in a row and I'm getting a little weary. I've decided it's almost a full time job to travel and sightsee in the same day! Oh good, I'm ready to turn in and I hear the train whistles in the not very far distance. I used to sleep through them, but not being used to it any more, they kinda keep me awake now. Hopefully they won't wake me up all night.
