Bennet Campground

 The day after we hiked to the Apgar Lookout we loaded up and headed east. Rain was falling in West Glacier and kept falling as we drove east across Montana. Highway 2 is a good road to travel. Many small towns are located near rivers. As we traveled through a town we would most often come up hill out of a river valley where the wind from Canada tried to shove us south and off the road. I quickly learned to keep both hands on the wheel as we left towns. Towards dusk we camp to the North Dakota border. Before we got into the town of Williston we headed south on Highway 85. We hoped to camp at the north unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. As it turns out this national park does not allow camping. Glacier didn't allow camping either but Yellowstone did; go figure. As we drove into the park four buffalo greeted us by walking down the road with their heads held high and their hooves audibly clomping on the pavement. We were lucky to find a campsite at Bennett campgrounds just a few miles away in the Little Missouri National Grasslands.  This was a basic campground with a pit toilet and a water source but little else. We were camped right in the badlands with beautiful scenery and sagebrush all around us. We were tired after all that driving and went right to sleep after a quick PB&J sandwich.
