Big Surprise in Medora

From Custer, we proceeded toward Glacier National Park and, on the way, stopped at the small town of Medora, North Dakota. The plan was to stay for a night and we ended up staying for three. At first, we just wanted to see the Enchanted Highway that Anna Lee had found a writeup on in Smithsonian. The story, which we got directly from the artist, a retired high school teacher and principal, is that his hometown, Regent, ND was dying and he wanted to do something to bring it back to life. He decided that people liked to see big things so he installed the world’s largest metal sculptures along the 30 miles of road between I 94 and Regent. He has seven installations and plans for four more. They are all great fun. Lunch in Regent was also excellent.
