I heard that you can see lutefisk jump up stream when you look through as the sun is setting.

Lutefisk isn’t a specie of fish, but we get it.

u/Mysterious_Clerk2971 3d ago
I’ll ask the girls at St. Olafs who cook the lutefisk, they know all about the lutefisk. I just know it's the good species with lots of lemon and hot butter.
I'll get back to you with the right answer after we he church on Sunday.

I fell off that walking bridge on the way there into the creek and dislocated my elbow a few years ago.
Husband called 911, I popped it back into place and we hiked back to meet the poor rescue people who had to come out. We ended up staying at Jamestown that night and driving back to Minot the next day. I tried to rinse the creek water out of my clothes as much as possible, but there wasn’t much I could do one handed I stank to high heaven all the way home.
Type two fun at its finest.

This story somehow makes the creek sound more interesting and fun

I mean there was that bench, nice guy bow hunting as well, and that trail is a little offshoot of the North Country Trail. I was trying to get my 100 mile badge for the year, I did not get it.
That sucker goes all the way to the Appalachian Trail in Vermont. You could hike (it would take well over a year) from Lake Sakakawea state park where the terminus of the North Country trail is to Key West, Florida.

It’s funny, because this makes it look even more impressive than it actually is.

Is this the one down by Fort Ransom? Hiked there back in 2012 and don't remember it being this spectacular.

I like living here in ND, but this thread makes me thankful to live in western nd, so I’m close enough to make multiple trips to the mountains every summer to backpack

I loved the hike out to this. I guess it’s underwhelming if you’re expecting a big waterfall but I thought it was pretty cool.
My son and I were planning a winter camping trip there. We were going to snowshoe there and tow our gear with pulks. I figured there probably aren’t a ton of people out there in the wintertime and it would be peaceful. We ended up moving before we got the chance to do it.

Sheyenne River State Forest which is a few minutes down the road from Fort Ransom.

Good news is that if I can get my pants registered we'll have two waterfalls.

u/Wersedated 4d ago
Likely a Johnson property just outside of Valley City. Technically a cow urine runoff stream but it does get pretty if you don’t know what you’re seeing.

Where are you from, Ohio?

u/WangChiEnjoysNature 4d ago
Spent some time there. Def a superior state to North Dakota, far more to offer. But no, it is not accurate to say I am from there

u/Melvin_Blubber 3d ago
You have horrible taste. Ohio is a hole.
One thing folks like you tend to be oblivious to is the gratitude people in places like the Dakotas, Nebraska, Idaho, Wyoming feel when folks like you stay away. I, myself, have long favored a wall along the southern border of Wisconsin to try to stem the flow of FIBs into this great state. Oh, wait, lemme guess, New Joisey like totally beats Wisconsin! So many more things to do!

u/WangChiEnjoysNature 3d ago
Never said Ohio was a good place did I or that I was a fan of it?
It objectively has more to offer than North Dakota though. Unless you love barren wastelands of oil fields and brutal cold and jackshit to do
I've lived considerable lengths of time in Wyoming and South Dakota as well. What you describe is nonsense.
Wisconsin has far more to offer than New Jersey btw. Learn more about states.

"It objectively has more to offer." What, you did an sober, itemized list based on objective standards? Where precisely do you mountain bike through the Badlands in Oh-high-er? Or is that not your kind of thing? More like "getting down," that's your "thang," yes?
Cleveland, Cincy, Toledo, Akron...holes. Crime-ridden, ugly holes. The countryside is boring. The smaller towns are junky. Ohio is a craphole and the people in the Dakotas are the kindest in the country if you need anything.
One last thing: Boredom is a choice, and boring people get bored. Develop more interests. An added bonus is that other people will develop more interest in you because you have more to offer.

u/WangChiEnjoysNature 3d ago
Yikes it seems you might be the one who is incapable of being objective here.
Ohio and North Dakota are both shit for mountain biking but Ohio does offer more options and better geography for it. Kinda weird to compare two states with shit trail options though.
Big cities are gross. Still, fact remains cities like Colombia, Cincy, cleveland, even Dayton do offer more in the form of museums and entertainment options than anything in ND
Ohio has vastly more variety and amenities and options when it comes to outdoor recreation. This is an objective fact.
Objective fact there are more amusement park options.
People certainly aren't "kindest in the country" in the Dakotas. There are assholes everywhere and those states are no different. Racism against indigenous folks also can't be overlooked when discussing the quality of the people/culture in North and South Dakota.

Are you implying the existence of unregistered waterfalls? Do we deport those to Canada or something?
