Eugene and Margaret Zaderaka toured the Enchanted Highway on their way home from Medora. This is 32 miles of good road going south, just east of Dickinson in scenic prairie with 6 metal folk art sculptures lining the road. It ends in Regent where you may visit the Enchanted Highway Gift Shop, run by a very attractive young man, Alex Greff. You may write Alex at P.O. Box #93, Regent, N.D. 58630 if you would like a brochure or if you would like to get to know him! For a brochure, please include a stamped envelope. Gary Greff, artist, is a cousin to Alex’s Dad. Alex was able to tell us a lot of interesting facts about the structures and Gary. Gary was at the sight of the future “Fisherman’s Dream” sculpture as we drove past. He welds most of the structures at the site and high in the air!
