So without a solid plan, we decided to head north out of South Dakota as neither of us have been to North Dakota. Stopped in the Fargo Brewing company for a very fine Wood Chipper IPA and then visited Hjemkomst museum right across the Red River in Moorehead, MN. Holy Cow! What a fantastic story and beautiful boat.

Bob Ash, the visionary builder, died before she crossed the Atlantic, but his brother finished the job for him. Sometimes it's great being hooked up with a museum freak!

We crossed this river early on (April 8th) in Baton Rouge, but it was muddy and you needed a big bridge...
