A Drive in the Country

We had to drive to one of our job sites on the west side of the state and decided to take the long way home.  We were pleasantly surprised to see the scenery was very similar to the badlands, just not quite so rugged.

This 2 lane road runs right through the oil patch and was very busy with big rigs.  The road is curvy with no place to stop and the traffic doesn't allow you to slow down much, so it was pretty but not fun.

Sights along the oil patch.

We drove through the Ft. Berthold Indian Reservation and hit road construction-not fun.  We drove 25 miles per hour for almost an hour until we could turn.  It seemed like a good time to visit Lake Sakakawea.

This is a man-made lake that runs across the middle of North Dakota from the center to the far west.

Ft. Stevenson State Park is located on the northeastern sice of the state.

Inside the park is another prairie dog town

Hope you enjoyed our drive down south.
