Only in Nordakoda

The rest stops along the highways in North Dakota are rather limited. I'm not sure if that is because the traffic is rather limited too or because everyone is accustomed to stopping at cafes along the way every hour or so for a cup of coffee. Of course the two Interstates here have their share of them and a couple of the US highways have one or two. But to find a good rest stop along a state highway or especially on a county road is almost impossible.

Now I like to drive the back roads as much as possible so you can imagine my interest when I spotted one way back off the beaten path. I was on my way up to Devils Lake the other day to visit a very good friend of mine when all of a sudden I spotted it. Not only was it a nice rest stop but the scenery all around was so picturesque. I just had to stop and take a picture of it.
It's not everyday that you find such a well maintained and fresh smelling rest area as you travel this wonderful state of ours.
