You did have a lonely ride on US 85. Almost as lonely as US 50 going 
across NV.  A little ways (little to us) to the east is a grasshopper of 
steel about 50 ft. high.  North Dakota is a very nice little town--with 
very long streets. I'd like to hike every trail in the state, but can't 
afford the gas to get to 'em.  Running north and south in the Bad Lands 
(you were almost there) is a 100 mile trail--the Maah Daah Hey.  In 
Mandan it means "what will always be around", and the symbol that blazes 
the trail is a turtle.  No connection to my trail name.
