Anyone with a hankering to play cowboy could do worse
than follow in the footsteps of Theodore Roosevelt ,
who declared "I never would have been President
if it had not been for my experiences in North Dakota." Roosevelt
initially came to the state in search of spiritual and
physical renewal after the deaths (on the same day) of
his mother and first wife. He dubbed what he discovered
during his few years in this "grimly picturesque" area,
with its clear skies, panoramic views and weird, colorful
landforms, a "perfect freedom." The national
park named after him is the choicest destination in the
North Dakota Bad Lands (distinct from South Dakota's
Badlands) that dominate the state's western half.
The Missouri River wriggles like a giant raggedy worm
out of Montana, down past the capital, Bismarck , and
into South Dakota. En route it is transformed into Lake
Sakakawea, a virtual inland sea nearly two hundred miles
long that's the state's premier water playground. Scenic
state highways 1804 and 1806 follow the routes mapped
out by the Lewis and Clark expedition in those respective
years.
