We broke our trip in Minot, North Dakota, where we checked into a Sleep Inn. We needed a night in a hotel after more than 3 weeks tent camping. The hotel was perfect for that purpose; it has a water park to entertain the kids and is attached to a mall that lets us stock up on needed odds and ends. (camera batteries, air mattresses, etc). We liked it so much, we stayed a second night.
Minot's biggest roadside attraction is a park celebrating its Scandinavian roots. The park has all kinds of buildings, replicas and originals, from the five Scandinavian countries. It also has some statues honoring notable people from that part o f the world (There is a statue of Sondre Norheim, father of modern skiing, with an eternal flame). Above is a picture of a replica stave church, a storehouse, and a Dala Horse, symbol of Denmark.
