Fargo to Billings

Sorry that I didn't write this the night that I actually got into Billings, but I was rather tired when I got in. The drive across North Dakota and into part of Montana was really rather boring. North Dakota is flat, until you get to the last 45 minutes of it. Then you get to the Teddy Roosevelt National Park and then it starts getting more exciting. I stopped at the View Point overlooking it and took some pictures, which will be uploaded once I have the cord for my camera. It was rather windy, so I wasn't quite brave enough to go to the edge and have someone take a picture of me against it, but I got some cool pictures of the different rock formations. Then I hopped in the car, finished North Dakota and headed into Montana.

The other thing about ND that amused me was all of the "LARGEST" that exist there. I passed the largest turkey and the largest buffalo without stopping, but when it came time for the "largest metal sculpture" along the Enchanted Highway, I just had to. I drove up to it (nearly bottomed out my car) and took a few pictures. It's just geese on this big eye thing, but again, I'll post pictures once I get them.

Montana was nice. I like the road engineers a lot better than in ND, because they actually took into account how steep you can make a hill without the cruise control getting all weird (or at least, it appeared this way to me because my cruise was working far worse in ND). The hills looked rather large to me, but I also knew that I was going to be getting to see hills that were a lot bigger along the trip, so I tried not to be too cityish and freak out about the OMG BIG HILLS!

Then I got to Billings, which is a very confusing city. I think most MT cities are confusing, because they all wanted to be different than each other and it didn't really work too well. I had to use my GPS just to find the restaurant to pick up my food, because it didn't make sense at all.
