A white wooden church, identified as Zion Lutheran Church, with a steeple stands behind a chain-link fence. The foreground includes several gravestones and a grassy field, with trees and a cloudy sky in the background.
As I was heading out of the Sheyenne National Grasslands, a church steeple caught my eye, and when I saw an unusual grave marker, I had to turn around and check it out.
A black Jeep with a roof rack is towing a teardrop camper on a dirt path through the dense trees and greenery of the Sheyenne National Grasslands.
A night in the Sheyenne National Grasslands was just what I needed - a little time in nature and a hike through tallgrass prairies and woodlands. Spectacular.
A black Jeep towing a small, white teardrop camper is parked on a dirt area in an open grassy landscape under a partly cloudy sky in the Pawnee National Grasslands.
After a fantastic dinner and engaging conversation with Annika (and playing with Hugo!), I found a high bluff to connect to the Internet and spend the night.
A solitary, flat-topped butte stands in the middle of a vast, grassy plain under a partly cloudy sky in the Pawnee Buttes National Grasslands.
Hiking the Pawnee Buttes Trail was the first hike on this leg of my wanderings, and it held an unexpected and wonderful surprise at the end!
A black Jeep Rubicon is parked near the sign for Sligo Cemetery near Grover, CO in a grassy field under a cloudy sky.
On my way to explore the Pawnee National Grasslands, I stopped at the Sligo Cemetery, a lonely field on top of a wind-swept hill.
A jeep parked next to a camper in Comanche National Grasslands.
The first major off-grid test of my nomad life, plus some glorious camping and hiking!
