Friday, June 2-Saturday, June 3

Of course we had to go to Fargo!!  I’m a big Cohen brothers fan, and Fargo is one of my favorite movies.  (The TV series is pretty great, too!).  We spent the night in a motel on the outskirts of town.  It was nothing special, but happened to be located near a Mazda dealer. That was good, because we needed an oil change and tire rotation.  They discovered a nail in one of the tires, which accounted for the low tire pressure warning light that had been showing up for a couple of days and requiring Andy to put in some air.  This was the only automobile issue we had during our entire trip, so we can report that we’re very happy with our Mazda CX-9.

On the way to Fargo we saw a sign for the Enchanted Highway, featuring the “world’s largest outdoor metal sculpture.” Since we had been unable to find the world’s largest ball of string, we figured we better check it out.

Here it is!  There are several more pieces on this road, but we only went a little ways, then decided we better keep heading east.

The artist created and installed these works to encourage travelers to visit his town-Regent, North Dakota.  Next time!

Fargo is a pretty neat town; lots of old buildings and some interesting shops.

I like this business model!

We didn’t see anything weird or diabolical; I must say I was disappointed.  The only strange thing we noticed were the three old time barber shops downtown that were closed on Saturdays.  Isn’t that a prime day for haircuts??  Pretty fishy, if you ask me.
