June17,2009 Medora, ND
















Arrived in Medora and visited the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame, really some impressive pictures, equipment and Indian information as well. In the evening we enjoyed a pitchfork fondue which consists of cooking steaks on impaled on pitchforks and plunged into vats of hot boiling peanut oil and served with all the sides, baked potato, garlic bread, beans and listened to a live band as we are. We met some really nice ladies from Grand Rapids and shared tales and another couple who winter in Texas down in the valley, "snowbirds". The view was incredible. After dinner we attended the Medora Musical which mostly honors Teddy Roosevelt and the development of the community of Medora. It is mostly historical community with terrific little shops and restaurants, but not school and not even a barber shop. The Medora motto is, "everyone in Medora is headed somewhere else". The usual population is about 100 and most of them are gone off and on during the winter.
