Southern North
Dakota
Pictures and Attractions
Are you planning on traveling to North Dakota? We recently took a road trip there and had lots of fun. Since we live in Tripp SD, we took the Lewis and Clark scenic byway north to get to North Dakota.
We passed through several Indian Reservations, and had lunch in their casinos. The picture below was taken after we left the little northern town of Pollock in South Dakota.
On these pages you will find information and pictures of our travels through North Dakota. Probably the best time we had there is in the bustling little town called Jamestown. We also visited Devil's Lake and the Spirit Lake Casino.
Traveling to North Dakota in our friends RV was fun, but it sure did take a lot of gas for this trip.
