NORTH DAKOTA/SOUTH DAKOTA. AUGUST.
As I headed south through North Dakota, I found a nice little camping area provided by the Lions Club in Bowman, ND, with bathrooms & a dump station. They asked for a $12 donation. It was an easy stop for the night. I had heard of civic groups providing spots for travelers, but this was a first for me.
Next, I headed into South Dakota and camped at Hugh Glass Lake. At the time, the camping was free, but I just read they are now charging $16.91/night (a strange amount!). I did not know until I spoke with a couple camping next to me that Hugh Glass is the man about which “The Revenant” was made. I haven’t seen this film, but I understand his is a remarkable story of survival.
The nearby town of Lemmon SD, made for an interesting visit with its petrified wood park, and artistic murals and sculptures.
