Leaving New Town, we had to drive the booth over a very narrow bridge to cross Lake Sakakawea, a lake that was created by a damn in the Missouri River, built in the 1950s by the Army Corps of Engineers. A newer, wider bridge has just finished being constructed next to this one, so we will be one of the last to make the somewhat treacherous crossing.
