Traveled from Jamestown, ND to Medora, ND. Straight shot across North Dakota on I-94. First rest area we stopped at was set-up like an old time Gas Station, Looking at all the rolling hills you can imagine 200 years ago great herds of Buffalo grazing on these plains.
Just before arriving in Medora you hit the beginning of the North Dakota Badlands. Pulled over at a Rest Area and were awed by the dramatic landscape of what they call Painted Canyon.
Glamped (for those who asked – Glamorous Camping – in an RV as opposed to a tent) at Red Trail Campground in Medora. Back-in (hate that challenge after a drive), full hook-up on gravel with very little grass. Back up to an old run down motel (4 out of 10 space 46 for the campsite but the location is great and surrounding landscape is outstanding.)
