Thursday, July 18 - on the road west

Left Fargo, ND and headed west. Stopped in Bismarck at General Sibley Campground. This is the most spacious camp sites we’ve ever had BUT the mosquitoes were bad. We did get to hike 2 miles before the mosquitoes got too bad. 

We crossed the Missouri River which was really high since all the rain (which you can see on the windshield as I took the picture).  

As we continued West, the terrain changed from prairie to rolling hills. 


We are headed for Medora, ND, to see the Badlands of North Dakota before we head to South Dakota to see their Badlands.  

FargoDome- day 2

Another day, another pin, another win - yahoo, Nathan. He really looked confident. 

And again another win 11-8. He had to work for this one. The kid had good defense moves. 

Notice the outfits are blue and red, they change them but not sure how often. 

He had to win the next match yet today, Sunday, to be in the medal round. 

It is 5 pm, Day 2, Nathan has wrestled 6 matches since yesterday. He is Wrestling his heart out. This match was a real fight. It ended up 11-9. 

FargoDome- Nathan Wrestles

Wrestling started in the FargoDome at 9 this morning. 

Nate lost the first round so he moves into consolations. There are 25 mats going. Here’s just a third of them. 

Nate won his next two matches with a pin and a solid decision. 

Onto tomorrow. Go Nate.
