Zebras in North Dakota?

The Elkhorn Cafe in Medora is a little local place with great breakfasts! After fluffy omelets and mugs full of coffee we left town on Rte 85S. Over rolling hills covered with silvery sage, lots of cattle, and fields of hay the road takes us towards Rte 12W and Montana. We traveled through the Little Missouri Grasslands and some little towns that had some unique distinctions - In Armidon, ND we saw White Butte which is the highest point in ND (elevation 3,506 ft) - Marmarth, ND is known as the "Land Where Dinasours Roamed". Of course the fields are filled with metal dinasour sculptures! Motorcycles are starting to pass us heading for Sturgis and they are all shapes and sizes. We even saw a local police car with a Budweiser banner draped on it to welcome the bikers...

It's in the 90's and humid as we cross into Montana. We're back on the Lewis & Clark Trail passing ranches with the usual horses and cattle, but also had donkeys and zebras grazing with them. We decided to stop today in Miles City at the Big Sky RV Park for one night. The park is nice and is conveniently right off Rte 12. Ken was having a craving for Chinese food so we explored downtown and fortunately found the "Happy Fortune Cookie". After a good dinner we went back to camp.
