still got a bit of training to do but i believe he'll be a good one.
he's a mostly cocker spaniel mix, black, 30lb, 1&1/2year old male. it'll take awhile to bond but he's been very good so far. the photos are in sequence of where i've been through the state of north dakota. the lewis and clark camps are mostly under water now due to the damming of the river to form lake sakakawea. the forts were essentially all there was out here back in the 1800's. they provided protection, shelter, trade goods and frontier justice. once i got to the western part of the state and the ND badlands the scenery became more pleasing. i found out my tent can withstand 40+mph winds along with some serious storms. me and echo became real good friends after a couple of them! enjoy the photos, we'll be in touch
