As we were making the journey from the Garrison Dam to Fort Union yesterday, we realized we had the option of leaving the trailer at a campsite in the Little Missouri National Grassland CCC Campground before driving the rest of the way to Fort Union. So we did that. It’s a primitive campground, vault toilets and no hook ups, but reasonably level sites for tents or small RVs. We saw one other campsite that we thought was occupied so figured we wouldn’t be totally alone. We parked and set security for the T@B, set up the solar cell, and climbed back into the truck for the trip to Ft Union. When we returned we realized the tent we had seen earlier was an abandoned tent however there was another occupied campsite. We had a pleasant visit with Bruce and his kids Iliana and Ian from Denver. Other than that it was us and the quiet of the Missouri Grasslands and the sunset. The days are so long this far north that we went to sleep at dusk and awakened at sunrise. And as seen through the window of the T@B once during the night the stars we big and bright above us. It was if we could just reach up and touch the Milky Way! It was a totally exhilarating experience, and for a campground fee of just $3 with our National Parks Senior Pass!
