This Minnesota farm caught my eye out the open passenger window.
Got into a rain shower briefly, then watched as it spread across the prairieland of Minnesota. Lots of marshland along I-94. While we expected the marshes and lakes in Minnesota, we were surprised to see so many in North Dakota.
Caught just a glimpse of the few remaining sunflower fields. Most had already gone to seedheads.
It was interesting going from nothing from wilderness (most exits didn't even list the names of towns and said "No Services,") we topped a rise and below us Bismarck spread as far as we could see. My hubby said, "Civilization!" And he isn't one who cares much for cities.
There is only one tall building in all of Bismarck--the Capitol. It's the strangest Capitol Building we've ever seen. My hubby said it looked like something from eastern Europe and didn't believe me that it was the actual capitol building until we drove around it and found the sign. He says it looks better in this picture than in real life.
And, as a parting shot, the funny sign of the day was this one. Do we, or don't we go in there to park?
Time to hit the road again, but we'll spend the rest of the day in western North Dakota, on the Old Red/Old Ten Scenic Byway following the old US 10 from Mandan to Dickinson and then in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. One of the high points of my trip plan!
