Theodore Roosevelt National Park

I'm not even going to talk about today's ride expect for the fact that we face enormous winds until the final 14 miles where it was at our backs and we were going up hills at 20+ mph. We arrived at Theodore Roosevelt National Park around 2 pm, but had to wait to get into the park because we need to cram everyone into the van in order to save money on entrance fees. There was also construction on the road to our campsite, so the wait was even longer. On the 5 mile van ride we saw some bison, which was pretty cool, but they were at a distance. When we got to our site, we set up the tents and then most people went exploring. Heather and I went on a hike through the valley and then headed up hills to get some amazing views. We roamed around the park through trails for 3 hours until we headed back to the campsite just in time for dinner, where I grilled up some brats and hot dogs. They were pretty good after what was already a great day. To make the day even better, after dinner we headed up another rock formation near our camp and sat on top to watch the sunset in front of us, and the moon rise behind us. It was breathtaking. We stayed up there awhile and just took everything in. Once we finally came down, we got ready for bed, crawled into our tents and went to sleep.

PICTURES TO FOLLOW LATER. SORRY.
