The World's Largest Buffalo in Jamestown, ND. Is he a match for Albert the Bull?
The west end of the Mandan-Bismarck Business Loop, the farthest west we went on I-94. It's about 400 miles to Billings.

The Treaty of 1818 set the US-Canada border at the 49th parallel from the Lake of the Woods to the Continental Divide, adding the Red River Basin area of North Dakota and Minnesota plus land west of the Mississippi to the United States.
Technically, no one knows if North Dakota is the 39th state and South Dakota the 40th or vice versa. President Benjamin Harrison signed the papers alone on Nov. 2, 1889.

At the time, Griggs County ND was tied for first among least-visited counties in the Lower 48 at mob-rule.com.
World's Tallest Man-Made Land-Based Structure, the KVLY-TV tower, 2063 feet. At least, it was, until Sept. 2, 2008, when the Burj Dubai surpassed it. Add it to the Sears and CN Towers, which I also visited when they were the world's tallest in their respective categories.
After crossing back into Minnesota and coming down US 75 into Moorhead, we crossed back into Fargo on US 10.

West end of US 10
Turning around just west of 10, US 52 is signed along with I-94...
...but will soon vanish as Minnesota doesn't sign it until it leaves I-94 at St. Paul.
Another quick dive into Minnesota and back west to I-29. This picture is leaving Minnesota.
