326-6110-mother_gooseLong-distance hiker Bonita “Mother Goose” Curtner is currently on the NCT in southeastern North Dakota. As of yesterday (5/27) she was in Fort Ransom State Park heading eastbound towards Ft. Abercrombie, the Red River crossing and Minnesota.

She has enjoyed the warmer weather of late although she isn’t too found of our abundant wood ticks (you might be wondering who is?).  In her journal entries you can read about all the fine Midwestern hospitality that she has been experiencing.  I hope to meet Mother Goose soon and help her out on her journey!

Here’s a recent (5/28) article from the Times-Record (Valley City, ND) on Mother Goose.
