North Dakota visits included seeing Patti and Butch Goodall, long-time friends. We enjoyed a day trip to Sydney, Montana, to visit cousin Bill Davis and his wife Jennifer at their Rollin' Rock Black Angus Ranch at Sydney. (Hey Bill and Jen---a little free advert here!) Goodalls and I paused at an overlook for the North Dakota Badlands en route...
^^^^^^^^^^^^While I was in North Dakota I journeyed to the eastern part to visit a long-time friend in Cando. Peggy and her husband, Gary, took me to the Spirit Lake Casino one evening for a sumptuous seafood dinner and a few hours of gaming. Never having played penny slots before, I was very cautious with my wagers, much to the amusement of my companions! Sometimes I bet all of nine cents!!! However, my caution worked out as eventually I had quadrupled my starting stake! Here Peggy and I are, seated at the machines...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^When driving across North Dakota's prairies, I was pleased to see a number of "wind farm" windmills. They stand out on the horizon for miles and miles and are often single mills, appearing to be providing energy for a well or irrigation system. Go North Dakota farmers!
Being welcomed home to North Dakota is always special. Thanks to all of you who made it such a great visit and come to Silverton!!!!
