eclectic --

It's neat to read about your trip! I've been through North Dakota once, and it was -30 degrees, with -60 wind chill. My memories aren't real exciting -- a giant cow "decoy" on a hill, frozen soda cans exploding in a cooler in the back of the van, and running like heck from the car to the road side rest stop bathrooms(and back to the car). The best thing about North Dakota in my admittedly limited fifteen hour experience was that my had-to-find-the-perfect-spot dog learned to get out the door, go, and get back in! (one other memory: my kids learned that adults say cuss words too!)

Your story makes me want to go back and explore North Dakota when it's warmer! Thank you!
