I beg to differ. I spent the night in Bismark, ND in early November
of 1992. Apart from that, North Dakota along the stretch of Interstate
94 I traveled from west to east ...

Along that stretch I saw my first wild turkeys. I've since seen them in
several other states. They almost looked like emu with short legs at
first glance. ;^)

Along that stretch I also saw my first mule deer. Much bigger than the
white tails that live around me in Illinois.

I once knew a person online who claimed to be from North Dakota ...

That was the movie "Fargo". He was an actor. ;^)

Somewhere along the I-94 in a fairly flat region there's a sign that
says "Continental Divide". Was it in ND or MN? It took me a while to
figure out that it led to the north coast not the east or west coasts.
