Theodore Roosevelt National Park-North Unit



This is a warning sign you will see throughout the park. I understand this sign because Buffalo looks to be very docile creatures, but they are a 2000 pound wild animal. 



 So what do you do if a buffalo walking towards on the road? Stop the car and hope it doesn't get perturbed and ram your vehicle and do some severe damage. 



Since it's so close might as well take a picture.



I like this picture because of it being a more natural setting for a Buffalo. The Little Missouri River is in the background.





Here are some education signs that you can read at a pullout along the 28-mile Scenic Drive.



The camp host said it was going to be hot for the next few days and he advised we find a shady campsite. I think we did a pretty good job at doing just that. This is campsite 27 at the Juniper Campground.


We were told Buffalo will wander into the campground and we weren't disappointed. Our tent and campsite were not in any danger because we were at the far end of the wooded area.


Each night at 7 pm a Park Ranger would have an educational talk at the amphitheater. This night was about Buffalo and Aaron is holding a horn. The other talk was about Voltgers which was quite fascinating.
