….Continued from previous photo, which was on Topic =>
Mr Gary Wegner’s => Finding Robert Pirsig's Picnic Canopy.
….Mr. Schulte, of The ND Highway Dept, surmised that this picnic area could have been in front of the Tastee Freez (Dairy Queen), just off of the State Highway near the town of Wyndmere, in the western part of North Dakota's Richland County. He said "If there was a rest area along State Highway 13 it was probably west of Wyndmere in Sargent County.”

… Gary Wegner Then Contacted Jennifer Manstrom, Wyndmere School Librarian. She replied: “We have done some asking around and we don't think it was in Wyndmere, but more likely the Hwy 13 rest stop is just west of Milnor, beside the current Dakota Valley Electric Cooperative We think the same shelter is STILL there!. If that isn't it, it may be at Gwinner at the intersection of Hwy 13 and the state highway which goes to Lisbon. I hope this helps! But there never was a canopy at the Wyndmere Tastee Freeze.”

….Wonderful!! Getting Closer!
…. Next Gary Wegner contacted the Dakota Valley Electric Cooperative at Milner. Co-op employee Dayna Speich replied: “Congratulations, you have found the location! The [Canopy] picture was taken just west of [our] Dakota Valley Electric Cooperative (then R.S.R.) building at Milnor, ND along Highway 13.”
…Later she helped Gary Wegner identify a precise map location saying: “On the map it looks like it would be between the ‘A’ and the road to the right.” The location is an historic site. That is why they [Pirsig] probably stopped there.
….Gary Wegner also contacted Timothy Reed, Research Archaeologist, State Historical Society of North Dakota (SHSND), Bismarck, ND who referred to the publication “A Traveler's Companion to North Dakota's State Historic Sites.” Click Here.

Gary Wegner replied to the folks from ND => “Thanks again Tim, Jennifer, Timothy, and Dayna! North Dakotans are cool and kind!”

… The Camp Buell State Historic Site is located one-half mile southwest of the junction of ND 13 and County 1. There is a marker on the site commemorating the July 3-4 campsite of the 1863 Sibley Expedition.
