West to Theodore Roosevelt NP

Early morning appointment to get oil changed then west. 

Stopped at Painted Canyon visitor center on east edge of TRNP.

They are called ‘Badlands’ but they are stunning.

On to Medora, ND.  Quaint little tourist town that pretty much shuts down after the first week in September.  The Park is open year round but limited access in the winter.  We toured the town (20 minutes walking slowly) and did the Park visitor center.  Good video and displays.  Also tour of Roosevelt's’ cabin which has been moved to the site.
