ND is a heck of a party state because it's colder than Antarctica in winter and the wind blows like Billy B Gesus. What else can you do in these conditions besides party?

February 2004: "She, who must be obeyed" and I took a 14 night Panama Canal cruise. "She" met a group from ND at the dance class.

Because we had a huge suite that included a baby grand piano, wet bar, plus...free liquor and horse doovers (normally extra cost), the entire group (about 15 - "She" invited them ) showed up every night, to sing songs (and drink like fish)!

It was fun the first coupla nights, but after, it became a royal pain in the backside. 'Specially listenin' to old standards, pop, and C&W songs sung w/a soused Norwegian accent!

ND thanks for the info. I'm thinking real hard about swapping the motors and trannies. If i did should I also swap the rear ends?

cs65, I'm a transplant here, I guess that's what happens when you say those 2 words (I do). They do like to party here. Kinda getting too long in the tooth to keep up with them, although every now and then I do participate. I work out at the airport and heard about the blue angels, 25 bucks a head to get in, plus 4 hr drive. decided to stay home.

You should've stopped and said hey! Only two ways from St. Paul to Fargo - I94 and US 10. I'm two blocks from 10 and three miles from 94 half way between them cities (Big Lake, MN). I'm always good for a cup of coffee in town here.

Former road sign on ND/MT border: Custer was safe till he rode into Montana. 7th Cavalry HQ located at Fort Lincoln, near Bismarck. Torn down, it was later re-constructed.
