North Dakota

Today we drove to Riverdale, North Dakota for our next few days of camping along the river.  Our campsite is again below the dam like the past few stops.  This is the Garrison Dam that forms Lake Sakakawea near RMM 1390 and the place we left this morning was near RMM 1072.  We don't have a river view from our campsite but it is only a few steps away along a path through the tree line.

Along the way today we passed huge fields of sunflowers, millet, corn, and wheat.  The wheat has mostly been recently cut.  The sunflowers are in different stages of development with some fields being mostly ready to harvest and some not flowered out yet.  In the median stage the flowers point to the sun and make the whole field glow with a bright yellow to lighten up the view.  We also saw pheasants and deer.
