In the morning I head north through Newell, the sheep capitol of the US. The landscape is flat with bluffs and a few small volcanic hills. It is a beautiful warm day as I pass fields of sheep and sunflowers. I pass one large
herd of sheep with a burro in the middle. As I cross the border into North Dakota, I look for a place to paint. I decide to go to Bowman to see what a small town has to offer. At a tourist info station, a young woman directed me to a sod house and old church downtown. I decide to put my awning out for shade and include a John Deere tractor in the picture. My stay in North Dakota is brief, as I have to meet up with Roger and Cat the following day.
