Day 18-19 (Medora, ND - Teddy Roosevelt Grasslands)


Medora, ND is a very small community nestled at the southern most end of the Teddy Roosevelt Grasslands, commonly called North Dakota Badlands. It is where Teddy Roosevelt built a cabin and hunted. He had such a fondness for this area that he later proclaimed this area as a National Park, along with many others. It is a very fertile wild and rugged landscape with plentiful wildlife, reptiles, and birds. The southern unit of the park has a herd of wild buffalo and horses, of which we took some pictures. The many brillant colors were especially enjoyable at dawn and dusk.

The town was named after the wife of a French nobleman, who raised cattle, built the first slaughter house, and was responsible for bringing the railroad into this area. He became very weathly by shipping beef to the east coast. The town is famous today, not only for it's history, but for the musical performances throughout the summer months that attract people from many different countries.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

Mike
