I went to North Dakota around Labor Day this year. One of my frist stops in ND was at a tourist information stop. The lady there was so cute and so happy to see me. She said that I was her first customer all day.
We went to Medora and stayed at Custer cottages. I thought that it was a clean place to stay, very homey, not deluxe, but fine to spend the night as a less expensive alternative to other options. I enjoyed the patchwork landscape of greens, browns, and golds of western North Dakota. The town of Medora was quaint and old West style.
We ate at the Cowboy Cafe. The waitress was young, smiling, sweet, and eager to please, but I felt that the quality of the food was not great, instant mashed potatoes and canned green beans.
Teddy Roosevelt Natl Park was beautiful. We saw abundant wildlife, even drove the loop twice. The visitor center was nice and so was Roosevelt%26#39;s cabin on the site.
The shops in Medora were nice and there was a decent variety. My friends ate breakfast at the Elkhorn Cafe and were pleased with it.
We stopped at the Enchanted Highway on the way home and I was impressed with these sculptures. We also stopped at Mandan, Ft. Abe Lincoln. Unfortunately we were in a hurry and didn%26#39;t get to take the tour, although the museum at the Slanted Village was nice.
