The monument was originally built by local Boy Scouts, and was moved slightly to accommodate the widening of Highway 2 later on.

Now leaving Rugby, North Dakota! Additional travel updates will be posted if interesting sights are seen! At present, it is all flat farmland with occasional stands of trees near farmhouses. Typical North Dakota.

The three flags together are so lovely to look at. Awesome post. Following you.

I am not a fan of the governments or arbitrary borders they represent though.

I had no idea that existed.

Good point. Neither did I @FullTimeGeek :D

It does though. North Dakota has a surprisingly high number of sights to see. It is just a long drive between them

Good photos! I enjoy your sight seeing blogs.

This information is so good to know, for now I have proof that we live more than slightly off of center! Yay!😂

It does explain our eccentricities!

I had no idea

Wow that's really cool!

Oh wow! Learning something new every day! Thank you for sharing☺️

Happy Friday ⭐️

This is really cool!! I had no idea, and wouldn't have guessed ND for this distinction.
