Only Alaska Remains

My landloper ways began two days after high school graduation, when my dear friend, Kathy, and I traversed the United States, plus a bit of Mexico and Canada. Since then, one by one I've been slowly making my way to each of the states that didn't make the cut that summer. Today I finally made it to elusive and beautiful North Dakota, and boy was she worth the wait. From breakfast in Fargo, to lunch outside of Bismark, I watched the fortune of her bounty swaying and baking all around me in the sizzling July sun.
