Change of Plans

Unfortunately the national park was just closed this morning due to major flooding in the area.  We will now be spending the weekend at the Lewis and Clarke State park which is about 25 minutes from here.  The scenery is not nearly as nice, but I bet the beer will still be cold, and the fire will still be warm.  We will be sure to post pictures as always.

We are heading out bright and early in the morning, so everyone have a great Memorial Day weekend, and don't forget what it's all about!

Not much going on

Its been pretty easy going the last week or so since my last post.  I have been working a pretty good amount of hours, its nice to be able to get overtime. 

We are patiently waiting for Wednesday night to come, I have Thursday and Friday off for the holiday weekend.  We cannot wait to get to our campsite and begin a nice relaxing weekend away.  We have ordered some new camping gear on Amazon, and are looking forward to testing it all out.  There are lots and lots of great hiking trails in this national park, should be a good way to test out my new hiking boots.
Other than that, it is the same old same old round here.  We will be sure to post pictures of our long weekend, the scenery is amazing, so I am sure we will get some great shots.

Still Alive

 Ruth and I just wanted to let all of you blog followers know that we are still alive.  We have been busy working and just doing our thing.   We have been getting allot of camping gear lined up, we are heading to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park over Memorial Day weekend.  I will be taking Thursday and Friday off, so we will have a nice long weekend.  

We are looking forward to June as well, both Ruth's and my parents will be visiting us in June, so it will be nice to visit with them.  

We have also been doing allot of driving around an exploring the surrounding area.  Yesterday we headed to the national park, and we have also checked out some of the badlands that are about 5 miles from here.  Here are a few pictures we have taken of the area just east of town.  




 
The badlands are amazing here in North Dakota.  Very cool area to live in, we have yet to even scratch the surface of areas to check out.
