Van Life Diaries - Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Today we visit the North Dakota Badlands where the too often overlooked Theodore Roosevelt National Park lingers in the shadows...

While there, we answer the following questions:

• How did Theodore Roosevelt come to have a National Park named after him?
• Why is this sidelined National Park unique?
• Why should you add this fascinating park to your travel bucket list?

We'll also answer listener questions at the end - safe travels!
