From Bismarck, our last stop, we headed out on 94. Still more prairie, but it really got interesting in Salem when we saw Salem Sue, the world's largest Holstein. An awesome tribute to the dairy farmers and the biggest udders in the world.
Dickinson was next! An oil boom town where farmers worry that their sons will go into the oil industry. My thought- US oil is good oil.
Suddenly the terrain changed and we were on the moon! The ruggedness of the North Dakota/Montana Badlands grabbed my heart. We lunched at the Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park and we sat by pink layered geological miracles and drank wine and ate cheese.
We rode on through the Badlands on route 200, an off the beaten track road. It was beautiful, it was desolate and it was one of the best days of riding we have ever had. I love that I live in a country that offers all this.
