Lyle and Liz toured us around the area of the Cross Ranch SP and one of the highlights was driving over the Garrison Dam on the east end of Lake Sakakawea, which is a man-made lake on the Missouri River formed by the dam. It took years to build the dam and then many more years to fill up the lake.
There are so many recreational areas around here. We are looking forward to exploring this area more as we have time off at Cross Ranch. We did visit Cross Ranch and met “Chip” Cartwright, Marie Mettler and Laura Kohn, park interpreter.

We did not meet the park manager -- Eric Lang. They were waiting for us and said we could come in any time. They answered our questions and we indicated we would arrive Monday, July 20th.
At Cross Ranch, we are 14 miles from Washburn and Washburn is 35 miles north of Bismark on Hwy 83. We think we have selected a great place to spend four weeks as volunteers.
