Crossroads of the North American Continent!

I used to think that the crossroads of America was Indiana, but our running for June has landed us in Belfield, ND. According to their Chamber of Commerce, Belfield, North Dakota is “the crossroads of the North American continent.” I guess there is a difference between the crossroads of America and the crossroads of the American continent! Belfield is situated on the banks of the Heart River, and it is halfway between New York City and Seattle, Washington. It is also on US 85, "the only intercontinental highway that extends from Alaska to Mexico City, Mexico." As they say, "You are truly at the crossroads of America. The Gateway City to the West."

We are still about 45 miles shy of the Montana border! Montana will be a looooooong state! North Dakota has been pretty long - about 352 miles or so. Montana looks to be about 650 miles. Hope to get there in mid October!
