Pictures from Dickinson, ND to Wibaux, MT to Glendive, MT


I loved traveling through the Badlands.  It was amazing riding.  

The Badlands leaving ND and entering Montana

Amazing natural beauty from the back of a bicycle.
Onward we roll west through the parched land.

Maybe 5 inches of rain since March, so we were told.

Heat and hills are our constant companions.



Entering Grasslands.

Yes, it is hot out here on Interstate 94 West!

Our speed is 11 mph...not worried about tickets.

Where the deer and the antelope roam.

So long North Dakota, hello Montana.

Coming off the interstate for water.

We ended in Wibaux after about 90 miles!  Our longest day yet.  This is the headline that greeted us when we stopped.  It was so appropriate.

90 miles and this is what we saw on the local newspaper in the gas station.

Wonder Woman painted outside a bar in Wiboux MT

Big sky and big buttes define Montana in the eastern part.

Triceratops rest stop.

Dale and I loved the Badlands too--but we were driving through them. Except at one point when we took his bike out of the back of the Drive Away Volvo we had, he climbed on and bombed down a hill at 55mph! Bet you get some good downhills with all that weight. Dale says "Gotta love the smooth banked hills (designed for RVs) of the national parks. I could've gone faster if I didn't have all those cars ahead of me!
