Saturday, June 30, 2012 - Fargo, ND to Sioux City, IA

Fargo takes not an inch for granted.

We went to the Roger Maris Museum. It was in a mall in Fargo.


Stephanie's beloved Indians are the ones who drafted him. Todd says, "Thank you!"

They had a movie.

Real seats from the pre-renovated Yankee Stadium.

Banners commemorating his homeruns the year he hit 61. No asterisk.



Mr. Maris' Yankees locker

Welcome to South Dakota!

Todd said that a car from Alaska and a car from Connecticut should probably never be on the same highway.

Yotes! Yotes! Yotes!

We stopped at a truck stop for lunch in Sisseton. It was on Tribal land (Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate). They gave us the most delicious frybread and blueberry wojapi we have ever eaten, (we had never eaten it before)

Skies look mighty threatening.

Todd actually said, "Let's go Yanktons."

South Dakota!

Welcome to Iowa!

We are in Sioux City, IA to see the Explorers play the El Paso Diablos. These teams are unaffiliated with MLB.

Stephanie and some Explorers

Slider!

The field

The (pretty empty) stands

Hmm... 42 is still in use in the American Association.

The other Joe Torre

OMG OMG OMG! It's bat night!

We got bats!

What if the guy in the wheelchair is wearing spikes? What if his wheelchair has snow chains?

Mmm...

Hi Brutus!

Multi-colored popcorn turned our tongues purple. NO PICS

This is one of the guys in the photo with Stephanie earlier.

This is the other guy with Stephanie in the photo.

We are pretty close to where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived. Was this Nelly's?

Cha-cha Sli-i-i-ide

Wally Backman, Jr.

We're in Siouxland!

After a bit of back and forth, the Explorers finally succumbed to the powers of Los Diablos.

We went to a restaurant by the ballpark and found an escapee.

We ate here. Frogs legs were not on the menu. Perhaps he was just a patron?

Todd is agreeing with Paul the manager to be the 1st to participate in the restaurant's newly created eating challenge tomorrow.

We'll see what happens!
