North Dakota Travel Blogs

I've finished my physical experiments and now it is time to test my water samples in the lab.  UND has an environmental lab where I can prepare and run all my samples myself (maybe not such a good thing).  I can usually get one test done a day, or rather, one batch of one test.  I te…

This collection of photos is a combination of my many travels through the upper midwest.

I began my journey from Grand Forks, ND and wanted to drive as far as possible in the first day.  I bought a National Park Pass, so to maximize its use, I stopped at Theodore Roosevelt N.P. in North Dakota.  North Dakota is flat and dry throughout much of the state and I don't enjoy it.&n…

I didn't think in the beginning that I would love North Dakota as much as I did. I had actually thought that I would end up dying of starvation, being that ND is not known for its high or pro veggie population. I obviously didn't starve :P:P. Many of the steakhouses were able to prepare a veggie di…

I was born March 29th, 1981 in Grand Forks, ND. It's not the most exciting place to grow up, but I am glad I had the chance to grow up in such a safe and serene city! There are no skyscrapers, or mountains, or amusement parks, or zoo's in this place. There is no rush hour traffic jams or freeways. …

The main motive behind this trip was to get pictures for my 50 States scrapbook album.  I make a page for every state I've been to, only I am missing photos from some states, like Kansas.  I decided to head south for Spring Break so I could cross Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi…

I landed in Bismarck a little past noon.  Since I was headed to southwestern North Dakota, I picked up another hour going from Central to Mountain Standard Time.  And on top of that, the days are extra long this far north in early July.  The sun was bright at 5:30 AM (no clue hour ea…

Post cards from 44 of the 50 States.

We’re discovering that our trip is shadowing the travels of 4 famous Americans, even though we didn’t originally plan it that way.  The men are Theodore Roosevelt, Meriwether Lewis, George Rogers Clark and George Armstrong Custer.  I told you about Custer’s last battle in an earlier…

DAY 1-Friday June 22, 2007-Bismarck Well I worked till 9:30am this day and then got home, finished packing last minute things and then we were off to the airport.  I was really nervous/excited because I've only flown once and that was at least 10 years ago!! Derrick (my boyfriend) has al…

The first time I visited this Museum I was overcome with excitement! It was the first time I was physically in front of contemporary Native American artwork! I had been reading several articles in art mags regarding the works of art by contemporary Native American Artists but had not had the chance…

  We were up and out by 7:10 this morning hoping to find buffalo on the Wildlife Loop in Custer Park.  We saw more turkeys, Pronghorn and deer but not a single buffalo until we were about five minutes from leaving the park.  We came around a corner and there was the herd along side …

I go to Minot every once inawhile to shop, because they have different/better stores than we have in my city, plus it's way cheaper! I like it there :) When I go there I shop at Dakota Square Mall, and sometimes we stop at Wal-Mart and K-mart. We usually stay at I think it's the Comfort Inn,which i…

My stay in Fergus Falls was nice and relaxing and all too soon, it was time to continue west. On the 7th , I got on the road and drove into North Dakota and half way across the state. This leg was quite boring with fields of corn and wheat on rolling hills with an occasional small town off of the i…

The start of my big round-the-world adventure, summer camp at Aloha.
