The next morning, May 1st, we pulled out around 10:00 and headed back into South Dakota before turning north. The drive was, once again, pretty boring, with lots of barren fields stretching out in every direction. Every so often, though, we’d spot a small wild herd of antelope, which provided a welcome bit of wildlife to break up the long drive.

We continued north and eventually arrived at North Campground in Dickinson, North Dakota, around 3:30 in the afternoon. Once we were settled in, we worked out, cleaned the front window and added another couple of stickers to the trailer.

On May 2nd, we pulled out of North Campground a little after 9:00 and headed west across North Dakota. We made a stop at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, stopping at the Painted Canyon Visitor Center to stretch our legs and walk around for a bit. We also spotted a few bison along the road as we made our way through the park.

Once we got into Montana, the scenery finally started getting interesting again. The badlands looked great, and after so many miles of flat, barren fields, it was nice to have some real landscape to enjoy again.

We continued on to Billings, arriving at the KOA around 3:30 in the afternoon.
