Fort Mandan - Part 2







On to Fort Mandan where we took a tour and then on to the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. The fort represents a replica of the place where the expedition spent the winter of 1804. It amazes me how these people could live through a cold winter in such basic buildings. The Interpretive Center had great historical presentations about the exploration and art by a local artist. When you go through the forts you can feel the history all around you, it's really special.

Back at camp we relaxed and had dinner. We went for a bike ride around the park again. Alot of the weekend people have left now and the park is pretty empty. As we came up one of the park roads we spotted a Coach House parked up the road from us. It was the same one we saw in Rugby yesterday. We stopped and introduced ourselves. Larry & Marge were from Florida and had just bought the coach. We talked for a while and then went home.

The town we are in is Pick City, ND. There isn't much here, but they have a great car wash where we can get the coach and car washed. (It needs it!)

We covered a lot of miles today and we sat outside and talked about the things we saw today. Today was a really good day and we had a lot of fun.
