Back to the Little Missouri

Nearly 2 years after the terrible flash flood that killed 20 people in 2010, the Albert Pike Recreation Center reopened just before Memorial Day weekend. We decided to drive over on Saturday and see how the area had recovered. The Day Use area was packed, but former camping area felt like an eerie ghost town with all the “No Camping” signs and boarded up facilities.

We went further down the dusty, dirt road to the Little Missouri Falls. Since we haven’t had much rain, the “falls” were not as impressive as they were on our last trip. But the water was cool on a hot day, and the kids had fun catching crawdads and dragging poor Daisy around.
