Demise

What story do the bullet holes tell? On a dirt road deep in the badlands of North Dakota. Who knows where.

  • Drive through the park carefully, roll down your window, but don't feed the buffalo who will stand their ground as you pass by.  (At the South Unit of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park near Medora, North Dakota)

Western North Dakota.   Beautiful!
