Freedom…It’s a beautiful thing!
For the first eleven days of September, Hubby and I drove from our home in Washington State to South Dakota and back. We went through the states of Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota and North Dakota.

In the 1930s, they built a wall.
In the 1930s, in the depths of the Great Depression, the Works Progress Administration sent crews to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the Little Missouri National Grasslands portion, and set them to work building infrastructure.
