Day 4 - Buffalo Gap, North Dakota

Today was a long day.  The picture of Josie and Maggie tells it all.  We left Minneapolis at 9 a.m. central time and arrived here nine hours later - definitely their longest time ever in the car, ever.  We were all ready to get out - "Mom - are we there yet?"

Having said that, it was a beautiful drive.  Blue skies, moderate temperature, varying landscapes - all the reasons that we have come West.

Folks here have a sense of humor - I suppose you have to when summer (per the locals) is only June, July and August.

Example: billboard along 94 West - "North Dakota Morning Commute"  - the picture showed a completely empty road.

Example: owner of Buffalo Gap Guest Ranch, our accommodation for tonight: "60 degrees below zero keeps out the riff-raff."

Once we arrived, the most we could manage was drinks on the patio of the ranch - tough, eh?  It was particularly difficult with the view!
