DAY 11 – JUNE 22, 2013 – Fergus Falls and Moorhead plus a side trip to Fargo

We started out pretty early; the weather was cold and foggy and then we got some rain…but not a lot. So far, I have been able to stay on the right side of the weather.

First stop of the day was Fergus Falls History Center/Museum. They have wonderful exhibits and very nice people working there. They even have a scavenger hunt for kids who visit…it forces them to slow down and look at things. They seemed to love it.

From the museum we headed up the hill to the old State Hospital. Word has it that an investor has been found so the building will be safe for now. Interesting that there was a wedding party up there taking photos…personally I found that a bit creepy but maybe that is just me.

On to Moorhead and Fargo…too much construction EVERYWHERE. Went in search of grandparents and ended up in the Fargo cemetery instead of the Moorhead one. Finally found the correct cemetery but apparently my grandparents did not want to be seen today. L  Maybe they will be more willing tomorrow?

Have a room…ate dinner…it’s been a long day. No photos today because I left my camera in the car and I am too tired to retrieve it.

The next few days are still open-ended…heading north for sure though.
