A stop in the big city (Grand Forks) for some errands & shopping then we continue south. Spent the night at a rest area in ND then we went south some more, it's a good thing we're leaving as it went into the 20's that night!

Sometime that second day I noticed hills off to the west & got excited.

| A Hill ! |
Hills!
Not too much later the road was going through the hills & I was smiling.
It had been over a month on the flat prairie of North Dakota/Minnesota. It wasn't until we got into the hills that I realized how much I'd missed a changing topography.
I was surprised.
I'm not saying there was anything wrong with the prairie, it was beautiful & all the trees planted as a wind break, well they just looked good. But it was flat farm land. Lot's and lot's of flat farm land.
A whole lot of food is grown here....

It was good to get back to the hills!
Ya, it's not much of a finish to this blog but leaving the flat is like that....
I pulled an RV through North Dakota driving east coming back from Alaska and it was just as you said. It seemed to me there was a makeshift cross on the roadside about every mile or so where people had been killed.

There were a lot of roadside markers ...
DeleteDamn, that is flat.
ReplyDeleteYes it is, funny how after a month that flat looks "normal".
