We drove into Fargo to get supplies after a week in the boonies. There was not a lot in the way of groceries in Medora. We stopped by the North Dakota Visitor Center. It seems that for a large number of people seeking to visit all 50 states, North Dakota is the last state they visit. So, they started the Best For Last Club. Since North Dakota was our 50th state, we received certificates for having traveled to all 50 states, tee shirts and of course our picture in front of the Best for Last Sign! They also had the wood chipper from the movie Fargo in the lobby, so Leslie had to get her picture with the wood chipper pushing the foot down into it. David had not seen the movie, so he did not understand the significance of the leg in the wood chipper. We had planned to explore some more wineries near Fargo but were surprised to find that they are all closed during the week! We were also surprised to find none of the Walgreens or Walmarts had pharmacies. Apparently, ND has a law (1938) against big pharmacies and only allows individually owned pharmacies to be licensed. Fargo is a surprisingly busy small town. There are some very eclectic people in this town. Guess that’s why their motto is “North of Normal”!
