2022 North Dakota Trip
Our 2022 North Dakota trip started from Las Vegas, NV, on Mon., May 23, 2022. We stayed in Park City, UT, at the Park City Peaks Hotel the first night.
Tues., May 24, 2022, found us in one of our favorite cities Jackson Hole, WY. After walking around we decided to have lunch at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, which has saddles as stools around the bar. Then it was off to touring the Grand Tetons. Our next nights stop was at the Heart 6 Ranch, Moran, WY. This was an interesting place to spend the night. Old fashioned bed and bathrooms. At night they herd the saddle horses through the grounds to the pasture across the road. Early the next morning they bring the horses all back to the stable.

Wed., May 25, 2022, we drove through Yellowstone. We found a lot of snow on the side of the roads and in the mountains. So, it was cold, but no snow and sunny. A couple days after our drive through came the bad floods. It washed out some roads we drove on. We stayed the night in Best Western Clocktower Inn, Billings, MT.
Thurs., May 26, 2022, on the road early headed for Minot, ND. We spent the night with our good friends Don & Betty Skari.

Sat., June 11, 2022, we gathered for the internment “Celebration of Life” for Melody’s mother. This was held at the Rosehill Cemetery in Minot with family and friends.
Later that afternoon family and friends gathered at The Prairie Bistro near Mohall, ND, for lunch and visiting.
Richard got to visit with his cousins. He missed seeing two cousins. Hopefully next time he’ll see them all.
Melody & Richard got to visit with their friends and families over lunch and dinner a number of times. Some of the favorite eating places we found were at the Mouse River Park, The Naked Moose II, Laraine, ND, Cabin Bar & Grill, Antler, ND, and The Prairie Bistro, Mohall, ND.

We always find time to visit the Mohall cemetery.
It seems like we continue to find more family and friends here each time we visit.
