I always thought Viking women were a little more ...ummm ...buxom? (Must be thinking of Helga from the Hagar comics).

off the coast of Maine on Monhegan Island (or rather the small island right next to it) there is a rock with supposedly Viking writing on it. Maybe if you look real close.
Monhegan is a logical place for it though, its the first place that europeans seem to have landed in the area, and it was, back in the day, overun with cod, the key reason to be there.

If they had managed to sail up the Red River of the North (heading South) during a severe spring flood, it may have seemed as if the whole state was under water, however, the water would have been very shallow draft (generally under 1 fathom), and would have receded within a week.
The old glacial lakes (Souris and Agassiz) drained long before the Vikings would have come through.
