Now that's as green as you'll ever see North Dakota. I've been through here a few times going back to my first family 'road trip' back in 1959!
Yes, that was before the Interstate was finished. In fact, as I recall most of it wasn't done. There were brief patches where it was finished and it was heavenly riding on one, compared to the old highways. I was a little tyke back then, and I a remember the huge lime green earth moving machines. I wanted a Tonka truck of one just like them. Never did get one. Yellow just didn't do it for me. I wanted day-glow lime green, just like the 'real' ones.
All and all, North Dakota was a nice drive. The weather was perfect, traffic light, and it wasn't boring! I used to hate going through. This time the green helped a lot. The state almost looked normal.
The people are very nice.
I still can't get used to guys looking and taking pictures of my car, though. OK, to be fair a gal did too, but she was from Canada.
To celebrate, I had a Perkin's cinnamon roll & coffee at my last gasoline/rest stop. It was fantastic!
