Passed through Ferguson Falls and Fargo on I94 until heading north on 52 toward Minot.
Gas stop in Fergus Falls, ND where Val decided that she would "assign" all rights to the Upper Otter Tail River, I would be "assigned" all rights to the North River. I decided that I would like everything north of the Continental Divide and would be willing to let Heidi have everything south. We are still in negotiations. Perhaps I should read "The Art of he Deal" to get some pointers on negotiations🤔
Next stop Minot, ND. Getting out of the car for an hour so Val could bond with her heritage at the Scandinavian Heritage Foundation. Val had her picture taken with Sondre Norheim. Of course readers will recognize Sondre as the "Father of Modern Skiing", born in Morgedal Telemark Norway and died in North Dakota. The grounds had a pond, a church, a statue of Hans Christian Anderson and Casper Oimoen the Central States Ski jumping champion in the 1930's as well as Sondre. The grounds were "pristine" but my lasting memory will probably be feeling like we entered the "Night of the Living Dead". The majority of the people at the park were staring into their cell phones looking for Pokeman. It was a bit surreal.
We crossed the border at the North Portal outside of Bowbell, ND. The crossing was uneventful. Val had strict instructions NOT to volunteer any additional info than what she may have specifically been asked😉 Although we are not carrying any contraband, we did not want to have to unpack the entire van!
After the border crossing, on to Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. We ended the night around 10 pm at the Lounge at the Heritage Inn Hotel eating poutine and drinking Beer from Big Rock brewery before calling it a night.
