Tonight we are in Williston, ND - only about 25 miles to Montana. Last night we stayed in East Grand Forks, MN just across the Red River from North Dakota. The traveling has gone great. Uneventful and not a lot to look sometimes, but that's OK. Yesterday we saw the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Not much to it, but it is clear and blue. What a change by the time it gets to New Orleans. Today the most interesting part of the trip was the flooding around Minot, ND from the Mouse River. We didn't have any problem on US-2, but several side roads were closed and we saw buildings and railroad tracks underwater. We took our first picture in Rugby ND - it is the geographical center of North America. It was nice to get out the truck anyway! We will be staying in Montana tomorrow night before heading into Alberta (unless we decide to go to Glacier National Park first.) We are glad we chose US-2 for the trip - it's been good traveling. Today was all 4 lane divided highway with 70 mph speed limit (even though we only drive 62 most of the time). We've seen wood lands to prairie and are just getting into rolling foothills.
Comments from Eldon: Yesterday was a long day of traveling - the highway had more road kill than I've ever seen. There were deer, possum, raccoons and squirrel - it was a Yooper buffet! We are in Halliburton country now - lots of oil fields and Halliburton trucks. The campground is full of Halliburton workers in all kinds of housing; from tents to RV's to 1960's RV's to shells of 1960's RV's.
Comments from Larry: I can't believe animals are so dumb. How could you not see a car and get hit in the middle of the road. Cats are the smartest.
