Sounds like a great trip! I know what you mean about the wind...I was so discouraged by it this spring (you don;t get wind MTBing, so much, so I had no idea) and I hoped it was going to go away, but I noticed yesterday when everyone was *****ing about it- I just don't care any more. It's just always there. I give up.
The only part of ND that I remember very well is the little area in the southwest corner that is so pretty.
