For the last week or so, we have been hanging out around Pick city at Lake Sakakawea COE Park. There were many sites to see, as well as doing a little geocaching.
As we drove through North Dakota, there were huge fields of Sunflowers. They produce a vast amount of sunflowers seeds, oil, canola oil, and wheat here. 
Over in Washburn, ND, there is a Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. Since we have been following the Missouri river, it showed the 
travels of these adventurers. There was an old fort where they spent the winter around 1805.

Another day we went west to Beulah, ND to the Coal Mine, the Coal fired Electric Company, and to the Great Plains Synfuels plant. We spent the day touring. It was an eye opener to see how coal is being used, and made into electricity and other by products. We have since found out that in the late 1980’s, Rollie’s cousin, Mark West, was the one who started this plant…..
WE will be coming back to this area over labor day, and hope to get a chance to take our friends on the tour.
Now we are off to South Dakota. We stopped at Hermosa for two nights to visit friends from Kerrville. Yesterday we headed to Keystone where some of the bikers from the Sturgis Rally were hanging out. Here is a peak of Biker Week..
Now off to more adventures…..
