GART Day 3 - Hiking and Touring in Medora, ND

We drove into Medora this morning. I was excited about spending four hours hiking the 16 miles to the petrified forest. Tamara was excited about not doing that. So we decided to split up and do our own things: I'm going to hike and Tamara's going to explore the town.

And speaking of the town, is it ever touristy! I asked Tamara what makes a touristy place stand out, and she said it was because everything is so period. She might be right. Although Moose Jaw kind of smacks of that sort of thing, I haven't been to enough touristy spots to come to that same conclusion.

We are absolutely going to get gouged here.
