July 4th Road Trip: Day 2

closeHey, just so you know ... this post is now about 6 years and 8 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

Today we got up and drove over to Macalaster College where we spent the morning in an information session and taking a tour of campus. By 11:15am we were on the road, heading northwest out of Minneapolis/St. Paul on I-94.

At 2:15pm we made a stop in Fergus Falls to see the library sign and continental divide markers (thanks to Roadside America). We also made quick roadside stops in Moorhead, MN to see a replica viking ship, and then across the border in Fargo, ND where the wood chipper from the movie “Fargo” is kept. At 4:15pm we had a late lunch/early dinner at the Mediterranean Grill before getting back on the interstate.

We also made a stop in Jamestown, ND to see the world’s largest buffalo and check out the Buffalo Museum. This turned out to be a really cool stop, and we caught a glimpse of Dakota Miracle, calf of the albino buffalo White Cloud.

Just before getting to Dickinson, ND as the sun was setting, we spotted Geese in Flight marking the start of the Enchanted Highway. According to Roadside America this is a pretty cool set of large sculptures along 32 miles of a county highway. Unfortunately, it heads directly south and wasn’t along our way so we only saw this first sculpture. By 9:00pm we were in Dickinson and checked into our hotel for the night.

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, and we’ll spend most of it in the car. 🙂
