July 17-22 Bismarck, Medora, Killdeer, Minot

First, we headed to Bismarck for the Germans from Russia convention
Then, we drove through Theodore Roosevelt National Park at Medora


 This fireplace was made from scoria.

The red rock scoria is found in SW ND

Our pitchfork steaks were great, and so was the musical! When we left Medora, we headed to Killdeer to visit Kelly's parents and eat juneberry pie. (How did Nancy know that was Bob's favorite?) Then we went to Minot for the State Fair!
