If you’ve never thought much about North Dakota, maybe it’s time you started. Boasting miles and miles of hiking trails, including the Lewis and Clark trail, in addition to multiple museums, golf courses, casinos and amusement parks, North Dakota is bursting with things to do. Situated smack between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean, North Dakota was once called “America’s Most Affordable Vacation Site” by the American Automobile Association. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are two of North Dakota’s most famous residents. Tracing the courses of the Missouri and Columbia and rivers, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail stretches through 11 states. Thanks to their explorations, visitors to North Dakota with an interest in history can do some exploring of their own. Bismarck is not only the capital of the state, it’s also home to several Lewis and Clark historical sites including Fort Yates, where the pair stopped to trade with the Mandan Indians. For family fun in Bismarck, don’t miss the Dakota Zoo and Raging Rivers Waterpark. With more golf courses per capita than any other state (11 in Bismarck and Fargo alone), golf lovers are sure to find a course to their liking. Agri-tourism is also a popular activity in North Dakota, which ranks first in the production of spring wheat, durum wheat, sunflowers, barley, honey and other crops.

Monument honors the rescue workers of the April 18, 1997 flood.
We were in town for business and wanted to take a walk around the area after enjoying coffee time at Urban Stampede, so we just started walking. We knew about the devastating floods in the past and this was to place to come and visualize. We walk along the beautiful river walk and stopped at the Flood Memorial Monument. WOW. Water that high? YES. Quick and easy walk, worth your time to go see and have a point of reference to talk with the locals.

Just another part of North Dakota art meant to draw tourist. Must work, I stopped. Actually, I was going to Wahpeton to golf in 2 states on the same course, but I did deliberately stop at Jamestown to see the World's Largest Buffalo just a couple minutes off I-94.

Don't have to walk anywhere. Monument is at intersection of US 2 and Hwy 3 with three flags of US, Canada and Mexico. Take a picture--don't miss it!

Very interesting tower with all of the bells from various churches, schools, fire department and even a locomotive.
