States 40 & 41...North Dakota and South Dakota.

Click on the small pics to see the bigger pics...



Well, we wrapped up our shooting in Minnesota and today was a full day of driving.

As you can see, we drove from Duluth, MN to Fargo, ND to Brookings, SD...a total of 433 miles.



While driving across Minnesota, we crossed the Mississippi at a point not too far from where it begins...



At this point the Mississippi is not much wider than a little river...see the little fishing boat in this picture?



After a short 4 1/2 hour drive we arrived in Fargo, North Dakota...



This city was very impressive...it was clean, everyone seemed nice and the downtown was very cool!





While in Fargo, we ate at a place called Hodo, which is the restaurant of the Hotel Donaldson.

I just HAD to have the bison burger since we were in North Dakota...it tasted very good. It was similar to beef, except that it was a bit..."earthier"? Is that a word? It was different but delicious.

After lunch, it was time to make the final push to South Dakota...



The following 2 photos were taken at the South Dakota welcome center...one represents the spartan living conditions of the native Indians in South Dakota and the other one was just a cool picture of the American flag flying in the breeze





Tomorrow, we will shoot more video of the 2008 NASA Space Exploration Experience in Watertown, SD...
