Day 6 – Roosevelt Park

I could have posted for day 6 yesterday but it would have been incomplete knowing that we were to be leaving for the Medora Musical twenty or so minutes later, so here I am writing it on day 7 praying that I get a chance to post it before tomorrow.

So I don’t think I mentioned but we ended up staying in a campground in Montana at the end of day 5 which only cost us three dollars per camper + vehicle! It was odd that we didn’t find anyone living there for that cost. It was actually quite empty. Anyways that night there was this huge thunderstorm in the distance and we could see the thunder in massive flashes and forks, much like the one we had driven through that afternoon. After a few games of CTF and eating at nine o’clock (shortly after we arrived) we all headed to bed.

So yesterday (day 6) was relatively boring until we reached Medora around four in the afternoon and explored the small town. It was like walking into an old western movie, although I didn’t see any tumbleweed it was so windy that the sand/dust that was kicked up every couple minutes stung your eyes and all flesh that was exposed. Anyways the whole place was pretty neat looking; too bad it was just one big tourist trap. There were seven museums in town, six of which you had to pay for and the free one was a dollhouse museum. K With two or three cool all western stores (one being John Deere heaven *drool*) and a ton of old style looking restaurants and ice cream parlours. So we went on to find out more about this massive and really cool looking amphitheatre built into the edge of the nearby canyon but indecisive on whether to go or not to the Musical there that night considering the price and how windy/cold it was. But in the end the wind died down and you couldn’t even feel it in the amphitheatre because it was built under the edge of the canyon so the wind blew overtop. Anyways the Musical was amazing and a Broadway calibre performance in all respects… The sound system made me especially envious >.> But there was also a special attraction there just after the intermission, PROJECT DYNAMITE….Never heard of em? Neither had I….Anyways they were comedic stuntmen who trained with Cirque Du Solae for a little while (apparently) and had just won number one act in San Diego. So they were a good laugh and I got their signatures plus a photo with them so that was cool. And then I went back and was finally able to take a proper shower in two days (rather then just washing my hair in a bathing suit at the back of a trailer) because there were showers at this campsite unlike the previos and went to bed. Now we are on our way to Mt. Rushmore. Cool. Tell you about that later, Conrad OUT.
