No national parks Friday, just an eastward progression towards home. However, having stayed near Bismarck, North Dakota overnight, we decided to take a detour through the grounds of the state capitol. The large park surrounding the capitol and adjacent North Dakota Heritage Center is lovely, although we have to admit the capitol building itself, the tallest building in the city, seems to us to resemble a grain elevator. The park has several bronze statues, including one dedicated to Sakakawea (THEIR spelling and one of many spellings we’ve seen for the name of the famous Shoshone woman who served as a guide for the Lewis and Clark expedition).
A drive through Fargo (how many of you have been there?) and next door Moorhead, Minnesota capped our day.
