Picture of the Day - 8/15/08

This morning, we drove the scenic loop at Theodore Roosevelt NP (South Unit) - a little-known park in western North Dakota. A couple white-tailed deer posed willingly for us. The park lies along the Little Missouri River and is the general area where Roosevelt spent his time hunting. He also bought into a ranch just south of the park, later moving to the North Unit a few miles from where we were. The Civilian Conservation Corps (created under Roosevelt's "New Deal"), created several improvements around the park in later years.
