July 14 - ? -In home stomping grounds in NW North Dakota

Hi to all:

FYI:  We are here in my (Marion) home stomping grounds of NW North Dakota visiting with family and friends.  Haven't had much time to post.  Having a Family Reunion tomorrow.  I will update later this month.

Loving the weather!  It has been in the 70's and 80's during the day, colder at night.  Now I know why we go north in the summer and south in the winter.    : -) 

July 13 - North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame

One last thing to see before leaving Medora and heading further north.  Last time we were here, Sitting Bull's headdress was on display.  It was absolutely astonishing.  However, we were disappointed as his headdress had been moved to Fort Yates where Sitting Bull is buried.  He was captured and killed sometime after the Battle of the Little Bighorn or better known as Custer's Last Stand.  

Here's Dennis and Myron walking up to the ND Cowboy Hall of Fame that explores the history of Native Americans, ranching, rodeo and the western lifestyle of the northern plains horse culture.
