July 25 – 27, 2024
DAY 6: Traveling to Osseo, WI. We stayed at a fantastic Harvest Host, Foster’s Fireside Pizza, and the girls and I experienced our first “Cheese Cave”. If you don’t know about Harvest Hosts, check them out. They are a fantastic resource for anyone traveling by RV.
DAY 7: We made our way across Minnesota, and of course, had to visit a lake.
DAY 8: We made it to Medora, ND. This town, right outside of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, had the most amazing city park with a jumbo jumper that Kam loved. This is the town where a young and somewhat naïve Teddy Roosevelt got off to train in 1883 to hunt buffalo. Instead he found badlands devoid of buffalo. The American Buffalo, or Bison, had been hunted nearly to extinction at the end of the 19th Century in order to deprive indigenous tribes of sustenance. It was not a pretty time in American colonial history. Thanks to the work of Roosevelt and many other conservationist, Bison once again roam the great plains, though the same cannot be said for those the government and hunters worked to deprive.
