KAA: Fargo, because I can!


To be honest, I'm not sure there are many reasons to visit North Dakota, at least not for me.  It also kills me to know that I'm not the only one amongst my friends to have been to ND, its like why else would I go other than to say I've been there?  So my reason for visiting Fargo was: because I can.

My drive to Fargo was the least efficient part of my entire trip, one that otherwise, was a model of roadtrip efficiency (don't look it up, I'm right).  To get to Fargo I drove from Iowa to Minneapolis only to have to return to the Twin Cities to continue my trip.  Though technically I didn't travel the same road twice because my dumbass GPS took me through a state route on the way there, and the interstate on the way back.


Inefficiencies aside, I had an enjoyable time in Fargo, named after its sponsor, Wells Fargo.  There aren't many unique things for a tourist to experience, which, coming from El Paso, I can relate to.  I visited the Red River Zoo, only to find out it wasn't THAT Red River, but they had some pretty kick-ass animals, which made my trip worthwhile.

Red Squirrel, redefining 'adorable'!


Hey in today's world, I'd also be checking to see if mine were still there!

They Are


Random Bunnies, is there a better kind?


"Get a job you lazy beast!" I heard him yell at me.


Prairie dogs, they're just like chubby meerkats!
