Moorhead, MN



Drove east on Interstate 94. If you’re tired of driving on bumpy roads, drive across North Dakota on Interstate 94. Easy driving. Smooth roads. The day flew by We stopped at the KOA in Moorhead, Minnesota. Back to civilization and full hook-ups for a couple days.

We saw the World’s Largest Holstein Cow and the World’s Largest Buffalo from the freeway. We passed signs for the World’s Largest Sandhill Crane, and the Albino Buffalo. We passed the turn-off to the Enchanted Highway: 32 miles of the World’s Largest Metal Sculptures.



The Badlands in Western North Dakota are a lot like the Badlands in Western South Dakota, except in North Dakota they’re all covered with grass and forests. Spectacular.
