On my way to Montana, about six hours into day two, I decided to stop somewhere and stretch my legs. I saw a sign for Menoken Indian Village State Historic Site. Perfect!

Directions, from Chicago:
1. Drive west on I-94 for about 14 hours.
2. Take exit 170 in North Dakota and make an immediate right onto an unnamed dirt road.
3. Drive up and down this unnamed dirt road until you realize you need to turn onto another unnamed dirt road.

That’s it! You made it!

Now that I’ve given you directions, I’ll save you the trouble of actually visiting the site. Click the thumbnails to enlarge so you can read all about these early hunter-gatherers.
