Distance: 544 miles
The original plan was to continue south into Wyoming and then turn east, but the cross winds have made us decide to head to North Dakota until the winds are weaker and then go south.
This morning’s drive was fairly quiet as we wound between farms and small canyons to avoid the highway. We rarely encountered another vehicle, and the expanse of dreary, lonely sky was exquisite. Even the cows were eerily absent at times.

Once we entered North Dakota the scenery shifted dramatically as we drove past the badlands. The strange dried riverbed was so beloved by Theodore Roosevelt that he was inspired to pursue conservation and now it holds a national park named after him.
After a fairly uneventful day we stopped in Bismarck.
