Cross Country Adventure 2022 (day 18)

 Roughrider Campground, Minot, North Dakota

3 August 2022

Theodore Roosevelt (the Roughrider) is very popular in North Dakota.

Our Campground.

Marc-  We left Glasgow at 09:00 headed East on Route 2 once again.  Nothing of note in the remaining part of Montana except for several oil wells in farmland.  Once we were in North Dakota the oil wells became a constant part of the landscape for the first 200 miles (this was in rolling hills of wheat and some cattle ranch areas).  This changed again as we approached Minot where trees became the norm as well as smaller farms with fields of corn, flax and canola.  The Roughrider campground was easy to find and located on the edge of Minot.  Later we explored downtown first for groceries and second for some exercise in the city parks.  Unfortunately we did not visit the Theodore Roosevelt National Park where nature is undisturbed.

North Dakota oil wells like these are everywhere.

This appears to be an oil drilling device.
