North Dakota


Well, there are MANY posts I could do about North Dakota, and others WILL be forthcoming.

This one, however, I thought should get first status. This is a lovely little stop off between Fargo and Bismarck... when you just need to stretch your legs...


or look at the scenery....


Traveling alone can sometimes be tricky. What with the wind.


taking your own pictures to prove you were actually there, visiting Salem Sue...


Hard to get yourself AND the object of desire (And Sue is very desirable, is she not.. just LOOK at her...)


You like that straight under shot? I've never milked a cow, so I'm just assuming that it's all anatomically correct...

  3. Loving your pictures! Are these from your road trip? Or a different trip? My dad is working for an oil company in Egypt... they've been there about a year now and love it! That's how we got to go to Egypt in May/June. Its nice to know someone there! If you ever want to visit, I'm sure they woud LOVE to host you!! They've already had several of our friends come and visit!! They live just outside of Cairo, so they're close to Giza and all kinds of great stuff. :-)
