Frisbee and Forts

So my friend Steve (who has had a cameo in a few of my blog posts here) decided that he would come see my wife and I on Sunday. He works for an Airline, so he can pretty much do what he wants, which is awesome! Anyways, since he was here we wanted to go somewhere outdoors that would be a good representation of North Dakota. So we decided to head to a park by the river, decided that was lame because it was super windy and didn't work for frisbee, then headed to Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, on the other side of the river. So all in all a good day!

I'll start off with frisbee!

(All of the photos in this post were taken with my Fujifilm X-T1 and either the 23mm or 14mm lenses.)

But since it was super windy we decided to head across the river to Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park, just south of Mandan, ND. Totally wasn't expecting such a historic site, I was more expecting a couple buildings with some boards with some history on them. So I was pleasantly surprised. Also there were old train tracks, which are always nice. 

After said train tracks (which the path that went through them went nowhere), we decided to check out the rebuilt native american village just below the hill that the fort had been built on. 

And then we headed up to the fort. Or rather "forts."

Super small forts, more built as watchposts. Then we headed down to where the actual barracks and stables and such has been, as this fort had housed a cavalry division for several years.

That's all for now! These Fujifilm Cameras make awesome black and white images, too, which is why I was a bit... heavy-handed with it this time. Oh well!
