This leg of our 2023 Summer road trip was one of the most grueling and difficult as it was one of the longest/straightest drives of the entire trip. Despite this, it does not mean that this area is lacking beauty, as there is immense beauty in North Dakota’s moonscapes, endless plains, and occasional lakes. Minnesota - like North Dakota - is quite flat, but has more farmland, trees, and especially lakes, thus why it’s called the land of 10,000 lakes.
During this drive, we drove almost exclusively along I-94 all the way until the Minneapolis metropolitan area where we then drove down I-694 until the suburb of Stillwater, MN, on the border with Wisconsin. Here we started in Medora, ND, a small town which serves as the entrance to little-known Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We then journeyed and stopped in Bismarck, ND, the state capital. After crossing the Missouri river, we then set forth to drive through North Dakota’s biggest city Fargo and promptly crossed the state line into Minnesota. From there, it was a smooth sail across the state heading Southeast towards St. Cloud and then the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and of course we even crossed the mighty Mississippi.
