This morning we took some time to explore the site of the protest camp at Standing Rock, near Cannonball, North Dakota. The protesters have now all gone, though the arguments over the Dakota Access Pipeline are still ongoing.
From there we continued south, through Fort Yates and onward into south Dakota, stopping for the night in Eagle Butte, in the Cheyenne River Reservation.
