Udder Madness!

We are working our way across Minnesota and North Dakota on 94 W today. Tonight's goal is Montana. We passed through Fargo but were, sadly, unable to find the briefcase of money.  The scenery is mostly agricultural with large fields and cows, but there have been some interesting diversions along the way. We have learned that North Dakotans are very interested in creating wildlife likenesses on a grand scale.

We saw these pretty lakes all over the place in Minnesota. No wonder they call it the land of 10,000 lakes.


In ND we saw giant, golden fields of sunflowers everywhere.


In Salem, ND we located Salem Sue, the world's largest cow sculpture weighing in at 12,000 lbs.




We also saw the "Geese in Flight" sculpture which is the world's largest scrap metal sculpture.



Wagons West!

After cutting a 600 mi swath across the Mackinac Bridge, the upper peninsula, and northern Wisconsin yesterday and spending no more than 10min on interstate highways (photos below are indicative) we are ready to kick it into top gear for today's slated 11 hour jaunt across North Dakota into famed Big Sky country.
