Public Transports - ND

First of all, Hi to all of you...

It%26#39;s the first time I post on these boards. I live in the United Kingdom and am planning to go to North Dakota in Sept. I%26#39;ve made a lot of research on the places I%26#39;d like to see, and the hotels (no prob there), but am stuck on public transports systems. I am not planning on hiring a car, so I do not how I will travel from Bismarck to the Devils%26#39;s lake and then New Town.

I%26#39;ve made extensive searches on the web, to try and find out some information, but nothing came out of it...

Can anyone of you help me please? or do you know of any web sites, or useful companies please? Additionally I will contact the Bismarck Tourist Board, but would much appriciate your input too....

thank you

Public Transports - ND

Sorry but you won%26#39;t find public transportation going to those towns. You%26#39;ll probably have to rent a car.

Public Transports - ND

HI,

I live in Devils Lake, ND and would be happy to help you out around here. As far as getting around the state, I would highly recommend renting a car. However you would need to drive yourself. North Dakota%26#39;s public transportation is not very easy to use. You would have to call for a cab to get around towns and to and from public transports from city to city. There is some public transportation between cities and towns, but it is once a day most of the time. The Bismarck visitor center is at 523 N. 4th Street (701/222-4308 or 800/767-3555).

If you would like to email me and let me know when you will be in the area, I would be happy to assist you in getting around. You can reach me at tallblonde69_99@yahoo.com

I hope you enjoy your time in North Dakota.

best bet to to go to enterprise.com; they have the best prices in North Dakota and you can pick up the car at the airport. Driving in ND will be very easy. The country is wide open.

Hwy 2 or I94?

We%26#39;ll be travelling from MN (Fargo) to Glacier Nat%26#39;l Park. Hwy 2 looks like a better angle to come in from, but I%26#39;m wondering if a two lane hwy would be too slow vs. the freeway???

Hwy 2 or I94?

I grew up in Columbus, ND off Hwy 2 north of Minot. The highway while 2 lane is well maintained and the traffic light enough that you will make good time and travel through the heart of our Country%26#39;s bread basket. You%26#39;ll make good time.

I envy you your trip--Glacier Park is surely one of the most beautiful spots on earth and less frequently visited than our other National Parks; so, you should enjoy it.

Hwy 2 or I94?

I know this person%26#39;s trip through ND is over, but I want to clarify that Hwy 2 isn%26#39;t just a 2 lane road anymore. It%26#39;s been a 4 lane highway since the late 1980s. Hope this helps in case someone else is making a trip across ND. Hwy 2 has high speed limits in most areas just like the interstate.

Hwy 2%26#39;s best stops are Grand Forks, Devils Lake (huge lake with great fishing %26amp; hunting - just south of DL, consider visiting Sully%26#39;s Hill in Ft Totten to see prairie dogs %26amp; buffalo in a natural park setting), Rugby (everyone takes a picture by the simple stone structure stating that Rugby is the geographical center of North America - along the highway), Minot and Williston.

I grew up in ND, but don%26#39;t know the I-94 route as well as good old Hwy 2. I%26#39;ll let someone else comment on that. What I can offer as far as I-94 would be that: Fargo has an old-time movie theater and viking ship. Jamestown has a giant buffalo statue that everyone takes a picture under too. Bismarck/Mandan used to offer a pretty genuine teepee village. Beyond that I%26#39;m way out of my realm as I%26#39;ve never been to the badlands.

Hope this helps someone trekking East/West across ND. Both routes are flat and straight across for the most part. Try to plan your trip so you don%26#39;t have the sun in your eyes the entire way across.

Bismarck Hotels

Several would be. We have stayed at Expressway Inn and found their dervice excellent. Any of the chain motels would also offer that service.

I want to know if you have the crane in the resteraunt

If you would consider having a ';crane'; in your establishment, I would come there and eat pizzza everyday! I like the little three eyed alien that you can get out of the machine! As long as Buzz does not fall into the machine everything will go O.K. dokay , How much does it cost me to get an alien? I am pretty skilled with my hands, so they say so I bet I can get the prize in the first try!
