Update On Our Minnesota Trip


Lewis & Clark Riverboat



What a lovely three days we have had here in the Bismarck area. On the way to Bismarck, we stopped by the Makoshika Dinosaur Museum in Glendive, where we enjoyed the afternoon looking at old fossil collections and life size replicas of all the different dinosaurs.

Yesterday we enjoyed just traveling around seeing the different areas of Bismarck and Mandan along the Missouri River where Lewis and Clark traveled.

This morning Margaret and I attended a little Baptist Church in Mandan were we listened to an uplifting sermon. After church, we went on the Lewis and Clark Riverboat that took us on a guided tour down the Missouri River. What a wonderful and fun trip this was and it was so informative. After the river boat trip we visited the site of an old indian village that was also along the riverbank of the Missouri River.

Tomorrow morning we take off down the road to Fargo, North Dakota, where we will spend one night relaxing and sight seeing. Then on Tuesday, we head down the road to Ogilvie, Minnesota, where we will be spending several days at the Woodsong Campground. While in Ogilvie, we will be visiting with Margaret's cousin, Bonnie and her family.

I will be sorting out more pictures to post on our photo gallery from all the sights we have been too.

  4. Yes, that's the one we took. It sure was fun. We just got back from visiting with Bonnie and Randy. Had a great dinner and played some Farkel. Margaret and Bonnie each own a game.
