We left Stanton, ND about 10:30 am and headed west towards the next stop. I had spoken to my dad the night before and he noted that my grandfather was born in Killdeer, ND, which we would be passing through. About a half hour later we stopped there for fuel and some quick groceries. We looked on the OnX map tool for and properties owned by Dullum’s but couldn’t find any. We stopped by the community center and chatted with the folks in there, asking where to get postcards, but it seems Killdeer is not a postcard place. Oh well. One of the guys in the community center used to live in Buckeye, AZ so we joked about the weather.
We meandered on down the road and got to the park around 1:30. The park has a Northern and a Southern section and we planned for the northern. The visitors center was small but effective and we decided to find a place to have lunch.
The picnic area was occupied by a big group of kids so we proceeded into the campground. There were tons of spots opened and we decided to call it a day and set up camp. I had looked at iOverlander and did not see lots of camping spots at the next stop, about an hour down the road, and the campground was nice.
the next morning we got up, packed, and took the scenic drive through the park. It was not only filled with spectacular views, but we were able to see some bison and turkeys running around. Definitely a great way to start the day. We only managed 120 miles getting here, but it was beautiful.
