Glad to hear you get excited about questions. Here's another. Heading to the East Coast in July, via North Dakota and the International Peace Garden to Canada. Anything I shouldn't miss in your home state? Quirky road side attractions? Hot spots (are there any?)? Flora and Fauna? Two dudes and two dogs on a road trip. BTW, it was great to see Lucy (you) & Ethel (Colby) in Disneyland.
U should get my COP DAD zine for 2 good North dakota stories. In the western part stop by http://www.medora.com/ and stay in the rough riders motel - or see if a log cabin is available. Super cute old west town. Go see the Medora musical if you’re into that - it’s outdoors and you might even see wild buffalo roaming around. Eastern ND is flat as fuck and the most boring drive in the world but I find it odd ly energizing because it’s like the worlds largest james turrel installation of just 3 colors - sky, green, and a road. You might find a nuclear missile silo, and the worlds largest cow, buffalo, and tower of oil cans. Also theres tons of abandoned farmhouses to explore. I get excited just telling u all this. Eastern ND is like magic because there’s NO ONE THERE and u can do anything. Think about being 700 miles from the nearest gay bar but 1 mile from a straight one with the name “BAR.” (Seriously. They don’t even name them.) Once u get to the “big” city of fargo there’s still nothing to do really except marvel at everything. If u need civilization go to the HoDo which is actually a fabulous bar/restaurant/hotel but all the locals think you’re a snob if u go there. Lunch at the plains art museum is also very good. North Fargo is where I grew up. you’ll find the remains of the yellow brick road in the old trollwood park up there where i spent all my teenage summers. The drive to minneapolis is lovely - about 3.5 hours from fargo. See the Walker Art Center and the Weisman. Minneapolis is fabulous especially in summer. I’ll actually be up in this area soon myself.
