Epilogue
Might as well make it a trilogy. After finishing up the DMVW chase to Britton, we raced back north to see if we could catch up to the RRVW again. We found them just finishing up their work at Bobcat in Gwinner and then continued the chase west from there to Oakes. If you've ever been in the area, you may have noticed signs proclaiming "Crossing the Continental Divide". Uhhhh, I thought the Rocky Mountains would be a little more rockier than this? Well, this divide isn't between the Gulf and the Pacific, but rather the Gulf and the Hudson Bay. A good portion of North Dakota drains northward, primarily through the Red River. The divide is...subtle...like many of the features in the Midwest. But it does exist. In this shot, the RRVW may damn well be cresting the Continental Divide here, dropping into the James River valley for the final few miles into Oakes.
