June was the busy month of traveling. I wanted to see some of this sites of North Dakota before I headed south to Eden Valley in Colorado and I needed to be there by June 20th.
Camp meeting was the first weekend of June at Dakota Adventist Academy out side of Bismarck so I thought well I could go to camp meeting and then see some of the sites around Bismarck and then head West and then on over to Medora for the musical one more time before I left.
On my way camp meeting outside of Bismarck I stayed one night at Schnell recreation area. The Campground is a good Campground with a few sites not close together it was in the Prairie with quite a few Birds. I had a restful night there then in the morning I drove on up to Dakota Adventist Academy just north a Bismarck I was able to find a nice spot to park for the weekend on campus. On Sabbath two of the young men of the Bowman Adventist Church were baptized in the Missouri River which was only a few miles from the campus of DAA.
On Sunday I moved over to a campground just a few miles from Dakota Adventist Academy where I stayed for a couple of days. Sunday afternoon I went over and rode the river boat down the Missouri River
The campsite was was next to the water treatment plant of Bismarck and only a few feet from the Missouri River. It was nice to sit back and relax the day was cloudy and we had some rain most of the day.

This was the site of the Madan Indians. They had quite a colony there. They had gardens, built their homes in the side of the hills, using rocks. It was an interesting place.
Heading north I drove up to Washburn North Dakota for the Lewis and Clark interpretive Center it was quite impressive to see the fort the Expeditions team which was about 75 men lived in the fort bringing supplies with them and cooking out here during the winter.
From there I drove down to Glen Ullin from there down to Heart Butte Reservoir where I spent the night. Lake Tschida was just across the road.

The van was parked along side of the river.
The next day I drove West to Medora I would be attending the musical there that evening. This year the performances were around the theme of the old theater in Medora and the many uses. Weddings, church, plays, meetings.
One of the songs they sang and danced to was the old country song Elvira! That song was my son Johners song when was just a wee little one. It was enjoyable evening.
That night I stayed at Medora’s Campground which is at the edge of the Little Missouri River. The next morning I took a walk down to the river.
That morning I packed up my van and headed back to the farm it was a good week and I enjoyed my Adventures.
