TRAVELING ALONG INTERSTATE 90 in southeastern Minnesota about 10 miles from La Crosse, Wisconsin, I noticed this sign. And I laughed. I was nowhere near North Dakota. Yet this road sign appeared to indicate otherwise, seemingly directing motorists to North Dakota.
Dakota is a town of some 325 in Winona County, Minnesota just off I-90.
Signs can be simultaneously informative and confusing. I love when I spot such signage to break the monotony of a long road trip.

This type of thing makes my head hurt. 🙂
I find it amusing.
Traveling the Interstate, yet quick enough to snap a photo of a sign – I’m impressed!
I usually have my camera ready to snap on-the-road images. You’ll see some of those in upcoming posts.
Check out the sign at Glen’s Towing. It offers a pumpkin spice oil change (for a limited time).
Thanks for the tip.
Hope it all goes well in Madison…and it doesn’t snow.
The trip went well. Just exhausting moving someone, but thankful we could help. No snow falling while we were there, except from semi trucks along the interstate.
I love unique town names! There are Many in Texas. I need to do a post about them! 🙂
Sometimes you wonder how they come up with town names. Often communities/cities are named after founding fathers. But my hometown of Vesta is named after the postmaster’s daughter, Vesta. Vesta, in Greek mythology, is also the goddess of the hearth.
ooo! I like that!
Yeah, me, too.
I had to really think about this one….crazy sign! And who knew there was a Dakota MN???
Jackie, I’m surprised you didn’t know about Dakota.
Hilarious!!
I thought so.
That’s a good one. I love finding things like that. Thanks for sharing.
I know you do. Fun, isn’t it? I feel like we are in North Dakota this morning with about three inches of snow on the ground.
Love it! This is why knowing the “lay of the land” helps someone to really figure out what (some) signs are actually telling you. I did exactly that up at Northfield, drove down to Warsaw Township, – then to Holden Township, South to Kenyon and then North before going Northwest to Dennison and returning to Northfield. On I-35, I am quite at home though it has a differing landscape and towns identified than does Texas. It is 68 degrees and the Sun is shining. No a snowflake as far as the eye can see which isn’t very far in this area. Any warmer, and I would have to take off my flannel shirt. any cooler and I would need a lite jacket. It is one of those rare “California Days” here. Ya’ll have fun.
I just know you were all thinking of me when it was 104 in the shade!
Super cold day here in Minnesota. Likely shattering some records.
