Enchanted Highway, North Dakota

While North Dakota is beautiful, there is really nothing to do. Thanks to roadsideamerica.com, though, we came across the Enchanted Highway, a 32 mile stretch of highway that boosts eight sculptures by Regent, North Dakota native Gary Greff. Gary started building these massive sculptures when it became clear that the town of Regent was going to die if it continued to rely solely on farming. Gary plans on continuing to building sculptures and hopes to one day open up an amusement park, cafe and other attractions.

We went a tad overboard on pictures, made evident by the battery in the camera dying 15 minutes into seeing the Badlands.

I think we're here...

Geese in Flight.

Deer Crossing.

Grasshopper's Delight.

Fisherman's Dream.

Pheasants on the Prairie.

Theodore Roosevelt Rides Again.

The Tin Family.

Whirly Gigs. We got to push a button and every little piece in there moved. Too cool.
