We decided to head west across North Dakota on Route 2, but popped down to 94 to check out something that I saw a little of on a previous trip. My friend Tina and I visited Glacier several years ago and were intrigued by the Enchanted Highway as we passed by, but did not have time to explore all of it at the time. It is billed as the world’s largest collection of scrap metal sculptures and leads from I-94 near Gladstone down to the town of Regent. A local artist wanted to bring visitors to his tiny hometown of Gladstone and slowly built these sculptures since 1989. If you visit, try to start in Regent and head north to I-94. They are all quite interesting, but the better ones are furhter north.





Can you see Mike? 

After making it to Regent, we were pretty much in the middle of nowhere in the late aferrnoon, so we headed toward the closest camping possibility at Indian Creek Dam. Unfortuantely, Google was not so good with the directions this time. We wound up on a country road surrounded by fields, looking down a very rutted dirt road knowing that it would not be a good idea to take the trailer down it. Luckily, we were helped out by a gentleman who came out to us and asked us if we were looking for the dam. He then gave us better directions and warned us that we would have run into a couple of big combines if we had tried to head down the road we were looking at.
We follwed his directions and made it to what was pretty much an oasis.

We were one of only two groups at the lake and only saw a couple of additonal fisherman while we were there. It was such a lovely place that we decided to stay an extra day, relaxing some and getting some projects done. Mike spent a good chunk of the day re-sealing the bottom of the trailer to try to keep the mice out. Only one hole in the gray tank in the process! All was fixed, though and here’s to no more mice. Our mouse count was up to 12 and we would like to keep it there.
