The Enchanted Highway, North Dakota

Somethings need to be seen to be believed...

The Enchanted Highway in western North Dakota (State Motto: “Liberty and Union Now and Forever, One and Inseparable) is the type of man-made anomaly that could only exist in America. Well perhaps this isn't entirely true. There is a chance that it could exist in Australia, but it definitely would never be found in Europe. It is an improbable phenomena and one wonders when driving along this highway - “Why?”

This stretch of highway found between two very small country towns, Regent and Gladstone, in the middle of hay, corn and sunflower crops, is home to seven enormous roadside sculptures. The sculptures were created by Mr. Gary Greff, a local resident of the area, in an effort to diversify the economy of this predominately agricultural region. Intrigued by Greff's thoughts on this issue, we decided to take a drive along The Enchanted Highway. This is what we found:

Tin Family and Alex

Geese In Flight

Ellisha and the Grasshoppers

Alex and Fisherman's Dream

Prairie Birds and Us

Teddy Rides Again!
Deer Crossing
