While out in Watford City last weekend, I managed to grab a few hours to spend with my Dad while I was there. He surprised me with a little road trip to an area he gets to see quite a bit and has fallen in love with. He knew I would too. Here is a quick glimpse of Bear Den Road. 
We spent the trip ooohhhhing and aaawwwwing over the beautiful views! It was rainy out and he actually apologized to me that it wasn’t clear and sunny, but I LOVE how it looks! The colors are so saturated, everything has a certain feel that really suited the scenery.
Can you imagine being one of the first settlers in this country to come up to this? I wonder what they thought!
Dad and I talked about how fun it would be to take some time off and with a couple of good solid horses and pack animals, spend a week down in this just exploring.
That would have been so fun!
Of course, that’s when he said to “Watch For Snakes….”
EEEEWWWWW!!!!
That creeped me out a bit. I do NOT like snakes…in any form or size. We found this skin lying on the road and I was checking it out as I made disgusted noises. That’s when he said…”Just think…it shed that and is now bigger!”
I got back into the truck!
Thankfully, since it was a bit cold and rainy that day, there wasn’t a snake to be found where ever we went….But I still kept my eyes moving on the ground!
I can’t wait to go back and really explore!
