Theodore Roosevelt National Park (South Unit)

The South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park turned into a day of detours, surprises, and reflections. From road construction delays and an unexpected film about the James Webb Space Telescope, to prairie dogs stealing the show on the scenic drive, the trip was less about perfect views and more about the experience of being there—even when the loop ended with a forced turnaround.

Tucked Away in Hiawatha National Forest

A quiet day deep in the Hiawatha National Forest, catching up on photos, swatting mosquitoes, and enjoying the freedom of boondocking with a side of salmon and solitude.
