The forecast for today in Medora, ND was a balmy 106˚. Time to go…
The smoke from wildfires seems to come and go at the whims of the weather. It was a fairly clear day with wonderful views as we drove into Montana’s mountains. By the time we arrived in Red Lodge, MT it was less than 90˚ with a light breeze. We checked out several free campsites on our way into town but decided at the last to check into a trailer park right on Rock Creek. Our deciding factor was related to both bear activity in the area and the relative proximity of white panel vans with “Free Candy” written on the side in the free camping sites.
Special Note: The photo above is a picture of the fence across the street from our campsite in Medora, ND. Notice the line of baseball caps screwed (yes, screwed) to the top of each fence post. That first hat in blue is a prime example of late century modern Bud Lite advertising. Cue the Dukes of Hazzard horns.
