All across North Dakota, we saw thousands of acres of sunflowers being grown for their seeds. Judging from their droopy appearance, it must be getting close to harvest time.
Ponds like the one below were seen less and less frequently the farther west we went. Perhaps, since we gained about 1000 feet of elevation across the state, the water table is simply too far below the surface in western North Dakota.
