Badlands Ain't So Bad

This spring break I enjoyed a trip to Medora where we enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of the Badlands. The 4 hour drive went by fast as the landscape slowly changed from flat plains country into smooth rolling hills dotted with dark peaked buttes. Medora, ND is a small town with an even smaller population when the summer months are gone and the winter has set itself for the long haul. When everyone but the hardiest of old timers has left the town the only place to find a warm meal and a good stiff drink is the Iron Horse Saloon. A shy young man who tended the bar, cooked the food and waited on us ran this backwoods joint that turned out some amazing steak and Buffalo burgers.
