Something to do in N. Dakota

[caseyd]

Boss has slept in every state but ND, SD and MT. She's gonna fix that next week. Badlands and Rushmore take care of SD, a friends 90,000 acre ranch takes care of MT but we have no clue what to do in ND. Ideas?? Couple of kids along (12 & 14).

Thanks

What part of ND?

Any part. She just needs to spend the night within the 4 corners of the state. If there's something entertaining that would be a bonus.

Devil's Lake is full of Walleyes and Broadway in Fargo isn't bad for nightlife.

Other than that, the only thing to do is listen to the locals say "at least we're not Canada."

I'm from SOUTH Dakota, so I had to throw in a little dig on the lesser Dakota.

Sounds like the "Boss" as an expensive hobby. Sleeping in every state?

I have found that the best thing to do in N.D. is.....leave!

Until a couple of years ago, I had never been to SD, ND, and AK. When I finally went ot ND for a family wedding, a local gave me a description relative to its flatness. "Your dog can run away and you can still see him two days later."

Medora ( www.medorand.com ) has a lot of family stuff to do if there are kids. It's in the SW on the S side of the Roosevelt Natl Park (S Unit). KDIK would probably be the best airport. Lake Sakakewea in the center of the State has lots of places to fish and waterski. There's a giant cow somewhere on I-94 between Bismarck and Dickinson. On Hwy 85 south of Amidon, there's an old stove with the door open. The sign says "open range". Lots of rodeos and county fairs all over the State. Abandoned missile silos in the NE and N Central part. Devils Lake is nice.

What can I say, ND was never billed as an ultimate tourist destination. It is what you make it and I've always liked ND.

I said same (bout Canada) when she suggested this trip./ Thanks for advice.
