Some Enchanted Highway – Dakota Vacation blog post #4

 Driving west on I-94, a little over an hour past Bismarck, North Dakota, you’ll see this a group of geese flying over the grassland. These aren’t any geese, however, they set the Guinness World Record for largest scrap metal sculpture. 
And they are only the beginning, if you take exit 74 south, through Gladstone and all the way to Regent, this is what you’ll discover. 

Deer Crossing 

Tin Family 

Teddy Roosevelt Rides Again 

Pheasants on the Prairie 

Sir Albert slaying the dragon, just outside the doors of the Enchanted Castle 

Fisherman's Dream 
One of my favorites on the highway, but very busy 

Grasshoppers
This one was my favorite. Easy to touch and interact with and full of photo oppurtunities

From the Enchanted Highway website: Local artist Gary Greff conceived of the project and began building it in 1989, and continues to maintain the sculptures. He took inspiration from local wildlife and historical figures, including Theodore Roosevelt. Greff’s intention was to revive his hometown of Regent, after decades of population and economy decline.
