Theodore Roosevelt NP and Medora ND

Continuing on our journey to Minnesota to spend some time with family and friends we made a stop at Medora, ND.  This is also the south entrance to TRNP so we decided to stay a few days.  We stayed at the Medora Campground for a home base.  Campground was fine, busy.  This is the first campground that we were ask how many air conditioners we had and based their rate on it.  Didn't matter whether you used them.  We have been using them the last couple of days as it has gotten hot again and windy.

The first few days here the weather has been perfect.  Mid to upper 70's and beautiful blue skies.  Medora is a cute little tourist town.  Gift shops, cafes and something they are noted for " The Medora Musical".  They put on a different musical every year and is pretty well known.  Of course we didn't know anything about until we got here.  We toyed with whether or not we wanted to go and finally decided that we couldn't spend time here and not go.  So Robin went down to the office and got a package for the Theodore  Roosevelt Salute to Medora, Pitch Fork Fondue and the Medora Musical.

Glad we did, the Salute was good and Fondue was okay and the Musical was great.  I recommend stopping here a couple of days for anyone coming though the area.  It is right off of I94.

The Fondue was strip steaks skewered with pitch forks and deep fried.

Interesting concept but the steak could have used seasoning.  It was served cowboy style with baked beans, coleslaw, baked potato, and veggies.  brownies and cinnamon baby donuts for desert.

The view was awesome.

The Musical was across the parking lot and view behind the stage was also awesome.

Great show and would definitely go again if we are through the area.

TRNP was interesting and we really enjoyed the south side better then the north side but both were enjoyable.
The south side had a few wild animals and the landscape was different than the north side.  The North entrance was further down the freeway about 50 miles.

South side.

North side

So...we have been very happy with our decision to stop here for a week.  We will be heading out in a couple of days for Minnesota.
