About
Published on May 8, 2013 Just checking in...not in Williston last week, or this one, so can't report on anything specific to the oil boom area. Just want to thank everyone that's following my adventure, if not for you folks....I'd have stopped doing this a long time ago...now... I'm addicted to all of you....but that's a good thing....right? Anything you want to see...or know, in North Dakota? |

Published on May 13, 2013 I was walking through the campground when I noticed some white tailed deer running along the road. They ran quite a long stretch and there were a lot of them! It was quite a site to see. I also saw two more deer walking along the river on the other side of the campground but the pictures didn't capture them very well. Lots of deer in this park!! |
