July 21, 2016–Day 17–Bismarck, ND to Theodore Roosevelt National Park North Unit

The best way to shake off having only a few hours of interrupted sleep – a warm breakfast.  A rare moment of eating out.

July 22, 2016–Day 18–Theodore Roosevelt National Park–North Unit to South Unit

The full moon and the yipping coyotes woke me up on and off throughout the night.  I kept thinking I heard bison too, but it turned out just to be Cody a little congested with the dry air.  Thankfully it cooled off during the night and I actually had to pull out the sleeping bags in the middle of the night.  Site number 12 was a walk-in site, but well shaded and very nice. We had some pan fried granola and were on the Caprock Coulee Trail by 10:15.

We had intended to go climbing today, but it rained most of last night and kept drizzling a little bit into today. Plan B – Be Spearfish and Deadwood Tourists

Scott fit in a two hour mountain bike ride before 9:30. He said he liked the trail, but next time he is going to have me drop him off at the top since he said most of the time climbing up.
