No. 11 North Dakota
No. 10 Iowa
No. 9 Nebraska
I added these state to my list on a trip to Minnesota in 1970. I could find very few pictures from 1970 and this trip.
We started in Arkansas, went through Kansas and made a stop in Omaha for a few days. One day we spent at the Mormon Trail Center at Historic Winter Quarters. To be honest I do not remember how they looked in 1970. All I remember is going into a building and signing a guest book. Then, we ventured over to Lincoln one day and took pictures at the Capitol Building. I took them from the top of the building. That was before my fear of heights had kicked in big time. I wouldn't be able to do that now. Note: Nebraska is very windy.
On the road again with one stop in Sioux City, Iowa, to fix a flat tire and on to Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. There were several sides trips from this base. One trip was to Itasca State Park in Bimidji where I waded across the Mississippi River. It is at the headwaters of the river. Next, we took a quick trip over the border to Fargo, North Dakota.

| I was a little further inland as I remember. I didn't have to walk far, but I did have to walk across the rocks. |
The highlight side trip was to Winnipeg. We spent the night and did a little shopping.
I still have the ring I bought as a souvenir.
This trip was almost at the beginning of my '50-State Odyssey'. Who knew at that time that I would be able to say I have been in and out or to all 50 states. Glad we thought to go to Fargo.
