Havre, Montana to East Grand Forks, Minnesota - are you kidding me? It was a very stressful day for yours truly. Someone let a fly into the truck, and I sat on it or something and it buzzed just terrible and scared me half to death. I thought it was a bee! I tried to get into the front seat and into Val's lap but no go. Dave wouldn't let me ride on the console so I was forced into the backseat with the ...

... At any rate, it was here that Teddy Roosevelt came to live in a small cabin on his own ranch after the death of his wife. It is a remarkable story, his life here before becoming the 26th president and I am reading his biography now.The town has been restored and is a really neat western experience. The park itself called the Roosevelt national park is in two parts and the part we did was an hour long drive through badlands and beautiful ranchland where we ...

Good morning to all you followers. We made it to my sister Heather's house in Moorhead, MN. We drove all through the night and got here about 5am. It was good driving, all the girls slept. We drove over 500 miles over country roads from my Aunt's farm in Union Center, SD, where we left around 9pm and after a wonderful dinner and visit. More on that later. I just wanted to let you know we are safe and sound and not getting back into a car until tomorrow morning ...

Love and Peace to you all, the world problem solving, Bek and Jesse Train

In fact we saw a tree farm planted in small poplars. The last hundred miles was more open with fields of corn, wheat, soy beans and tobacco. We also saw several poultry farms and there were a lot of horse trailers ...

... as fun as spending 1.5 hours in a Laundromat in downtown Fargo. We did get to meet some locals, and they were quite pleasant. We also, not surprisingly, had clean clothes after we left. Yay!

Pressing forward into the depths of North Dakota we found that the scenery was quite beautiful. The land was a series of large rolling hills of prairie and grassland. Deep azure blue lakes dotted the highway and made North Dakota seem very captivating. Sadly, the captivation would ...

Thursday morning dawned with more cloud in the sky, but we soon drove out of the clouds and few snowflakes into sunshine, which continued the whole way to Grand Forks. We stopped several times at rest stops for a stretch and a washroom break. The design of the North Dakota rest stops is quite beautiful, with relief carving in the brickwork of the building façade. We drove the entire day on freeway, first I-94 and then I-29, so the miles went quickly. In the office of our ...

... stays. Of course we were holding our breath until we had checked our room; we've been let down before. The people seem friendly and the place looks great. We had high hopes that this works out and might become a chain to watch for on the road.
