August 17, 2010 – Day 5 (270.2 Miles).
We started our day by going to and walking through the Univ. of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The many visitors were greatly out number by the volunteers working & watering the many species of flowers, trees, and other plants. This place is well worthwhile to visit when in the general area. We drove to Fargo, ND stopping only for lunch & gas in Sauk Center. At Fargo, ND we picked our 3rd choice of motels because of the location. This turned out well as we got our evening food and had a couple beers on the motel. It’s the largest and nicest room so far this trip. Before we ate we walked to the visitor center for information about the area. Outside of the visitor center is a decorated buffalo statue. They are several of the decorated statues around the city. They are about the same size as the decorated bulls that Chicago had a few years ago. We’ve seen decorated pigs & dogs in other communities. We also walked around their walk of fame.
