This is where will you find Dave!
Wee’l Turtle
Dunseith, ND
What do you do with 2,000 old wheel rims? Turn them into an 18-foot-tall turtle, of course! Built in 1982 by George Gottbreht, owner of Dale’s Thrifty Barn, a convenience store, motel, and restaurant all rolled into one, the turtle pays homage to nearby Turtle Mountain State Park. For a time, the rather abstract shape was mistaken for a lizard, so Gottbreht added a motor to imbue the head with some turtle-y motion. Something of a chameleon, the turtle dons a red Santa Claus hat during the holiday season.
