We woke up in the free parking lot at Medora the musical and we’re thankful to have had a quiet night sleep. There was one other campervan who stayed overnight too.

Today we explored the Theodore Roosevelt national park. It’s is two sections, the south and north. We started with the south and it was kinda like the badlands NP, but not as dramatic. It was 40 degrees again and way too hot to do any hikes, so we just did the scenic drive, seeing more bison and prairie dogs.

The sky was hazy due to Canadian wildfires, so the views weren’t as good as they could have been.

It was an hours drive outside of the park to get to the north unit, so we filled up first and got a gas station pizza. I’ve been blown away by how good pizza is over here, even the gas station ones are good, but they were freshly made , even on a Sunday.

The north unit of the national park was way more dramatic and we enjoyed the scenery here better. Again, it was too hot to walk so we did the scenic drive, stopping at overlooks.

The rest of the day was spent driving into the sun. I am just getting so sick of this heat, it never ends!

We are now heading towards glacier national park which borders Canada. It will be a lot cooler there, but it’s a 9 hour drive to get there.

At 6.30pm we stopped at the shady rv park. It was very expensive but we were tired and a storm was brewing. And we needed showers. Plus they had electric so we could run our air conditioner.

Just as we’d finished our showers the storm rolled in, pelting down with rain and thunder cracking overhead. We couldn’t have timed it better.
