Tooling Across MN and ND

Today, I visited the fabulous Munsinger Clemens Gardens in St. Cloud, MN. It's located next to the Mississippi.

I lunched at Old Broadway in downtown Fargo, ND. I sat at the near end of the bar in the top picture on the website's main page.

My last tourist adventure was stopping in Rugby, ND, to see the Northern Lights tower and the marker for the geographical center of North America. I'd have lingered a little longer in each location were it not for the thunderstorm rolling in.

I don't count it as a tourist stop, but I made a short detour to Evansville, MN, just because of the name. It's pretty tiny.

I've stopped in Minot, ND, for the night and will probably spend tomorrow night in Havre, MT.

Another good run. I didn't feel quite as good as yesterday morning, but it was still decent. It wasn't a very scenic route through a couple business parks, but the roads were good and the traffic was light aside from right near the main road to the interstate. Having a decent breeze blowing makes it so much better to run. Also, it was nice just doing a shorter run.

Yesterday, I managed to rationalize the Corn Nuts because this Saturday is the next "trip to the farrier" day which I'm obviously not going to make; therefore, since farrier day is also Corn Nuts day, I substituted yesterday as Corn Nuts day. :-) They were yummy.

In general, a road trip, especially a long one, means I get a strawberry shake from McDonald's. Just a small one, though, but not today as it turns out.
