I had lunch in the Wagon Wheel Cafe in pastoral Hebron, North Dakota (pop 747). It is worlds apart from the highly conflicted Hebron where I’ve spent time in Palestine / Occupied Palestine / Palestnian Territories / Israel / or Judea and Samaria, the ‘name’ dependent on your politics.
Another Graceland, this in New Salem, North Dakota. No Elvis sightings here!
We don’t have a Branders of the Future Chapter in my town??
I felt like I had a real ‘connection’ with the cows and was feeling increasingly uncomfortable eating burgers. A rancher later told me that they just thought I might be bringing them food pellets!! Cosmic connection cancelled!!

Stephanie’s surgery temporarily closed the only restaurant in Hazelton, North Dakota, my only ‘refueling’ stop for the day. Oh well, more Kind Bars and Justin’s Almond Butter packets.

Being 62, I was invited to join the meatball supper at the Golden Age Club in Napolean, North Dakota. A group of dozens of friends who have known each other from childhood get together weekly.

In the East Coast, many have this stereotype of ‘dangerous’ people in pickup trucks with gun racks, as though Prius drivers are ‘safer’. Out here it is just a way of life.
The only problem was ‘dusk’ is 10pm!
The 3 miles of my cross country trip I was not allowed to cycle! Heavy road equipment widening the shoulders made it too dangerous. I made up for the distance cycling 10+ miles around Fargo, without recording it.
Now THAT’S my idea of a great town!!
My high school never had a Rodeo Association club.
