North Dakota

I visited North Dakota in June, 2007.

I stayed in Grand Forks and in Bismarck. visited some sights along the way including the Theodore Roosevelt National Park which is at the western edge of North Dakota.

I drove up I-29 (from I-94) and took US 2 to Devil's Lake and then to Minot where I headed south on US 83 to Bismarck. I next headed west on I-94.

The eastern part of the state is very flat, but at Minot the terrain begins to change to rolling hills.

The western part is part of the badlands and the grasslands - a mixture of prairie and hills.

Both the University of North Dakota and North Dakota State and on the eastern edge of the state - across the river from Minnesota.

Crystal Lake is the largest lake and has very little development. The main attraction is the Spirit Lake Casino.

North of Bismarck is the Lewis and Clark exhibit. They charge $7.50 for an adult.

The Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a must see.

I returned in 2008 and visited the northern section of TR national park: http://boro70trip2008.blogspot.com/

I ate at a burger joint called "Carver's", which is based in Wisconsin. It was EXCELLENT!!!!!!
