Hmmm, it's not much of a sign...and the landscape seems a bit sparse. |
"We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation."
It doesn't get much better than that. |
After the round up. |
The Mutiny parked at Buffalo Gap Guest Ranch, with Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the background. |
Showdown with the Rhode Island Red, fastest layer at the guest ranch. |

Medora, North Dakota |
Bully Pulpit Public Golf Course |
Buffalo still roam here. |
As do the prairie dogs. |
You can see why this is also called the "badlands". |
Wild horses inside the northern unit. |
More wild horses (and my current cell phone screen saver). |
Running through the valley. |
A herd of wild horses on the ridge. |
Now that's a BIG guy! |
Teddy Roosevelt's cabin at Maltese Cross Ranch. |
I thought slow traffic was supposed to move to the right? |
Carefully passing Mr. Buffalo. |
Obviously, I couldn't get enough of the wild horses. |
Clark is having flashbacks of his many summers on the ranch in Sonoma. |
The guy in front of me (these are my horse's ears) was one of the tour guides. I thought it only appropriate to sneak a picture of him too. |
Pretty beautifulness. |
We actually did ride some steep terrain for a trail ride. I used to be a trail guide in the Pocono Mountains and none of our trails were this 'interesting'. |
My trusty steed was never bothered by my picture taking. |
Whoops, looks like Clark brought his phone too! |
Beautiful trails and so cool to be in the back country. |
After the ride. |
Clark resting at a gorgeous overlook after a long drive to the North Unit. |
