Medora, North Dakota-Part II

Two of the big attractions at Medora are the "Pitchfork Fondue" and the "Medora Musical". Both events are held outside, about 1 mile up a curvy rode on the top of a butte. The view was spectacular, overlooking a colorful canyon! Steaks were cooked on pitchforks in huge pots of sunflower oil. Art was hoping the pitchforks were cleaned before use! Ha Ha! The musical was a western extravaganza, complete with horses, stage coaches, singers, and dancers! There was also a special performance by the "Peking Acrobats". The Burning Hills Amphitheater is carved right into the hill, and you watch the performance with the stars and moon overhead!

Visiting the Theodore Roosevelt National Park was a great experience! We explored the south and north units which are about 50 miles apart. Not only was the scenery beautiful, but we had many encounters with animals-bison, wild horses, mule deer, antelope, and more prairie dogs! The bison and wild horses were actually walking down the road! What a thrill!!!!!!
