An early out of Panera coffee and pastry, bike clean and a great massage. I got back and headed for downtown again for another great Bernbaum deli lunch.


I met some riders downtown and they were doing a walking tour of murals. I got a few before going to lunch.




Lunch called, stomach alarm and Bernbaum’s did not disappoint. After hearing my fellow riders talk about the bike trail I went on Trail Link and found the closest spot to me. Went north and saw a American Legion Baseball field. Very nice.

I came south and the trail was like this.


I crossed the Red River bridge and was in Moorhead, MN. The sister city of Fargo. The river is the state line. I was to see Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead. There was a local, Robert Asp, that aspired to build a antique Viking ship and did so.


Another local wood craftsman built an 1140’s replica Stave church from using a preexisting church in Norway as a model.




Last but not least the center had a Nationally juried quilt exhibit about refugees that was mind blowingly incredible. I will try to show you the best.









It was an amazing exhibit. A parting shot of the Cass County Courthouse in Fargo. Peace out Tres dog

The craftsmanship in the wood work in and of the 1140’s replica Stave church was awesome
Yay Minnesota! The quilt exhibit looks astounding
The quilts are indeed mind-blowing.
Amazing! The quilts, the murals and the two wood projects. What a great trip.
