Still raining this
morning, this is a pretty steady rain, the type that will soak in and not just
run off. That is, if there is soil and not clay. The roads in the campground
are developing small red pools.
We braved the rain and
went to explore the Visitor’s Center at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
We started to go on the loop around the southern edge of the park, but because
of the rain, any pictures we might have taken would not have turned out well,
so we turned around and headed for Medora.

Medora is a very small
town that caters to the tourist industry, and is only open during the tourist
season. There is no grocery store, only a convenience store where you can buy
bread and milk, but that’s it without going 35 miles east or west. There are
only 42 regular residents here in the winter time, and everyone who works here
during the tourist season comes from somewhere else. There is a lot of history
here and several museums, including a Cowboy Hall of Fame. We tried to get an ice cream cone at the ice
cream and fudge shop, but we were a couple of days to early and were asked to
come back on Saturday.
With no ice cream
available, we gave up and came back to the campground, where we spent the afternoon
playing cards.
