8/8-8/9
While driving to the park today we went through Frazee, MN and saw where your Thanksgiving turkeys come from. There were many large barns full of turkeys!
This park has one of Minnesota’s finest and largest remnant prairies. We took a 3 mile hike around the prairie. It was beautiful with many different kinds of trees, plants, and flowers. We saw three large birds that we were unable to identify; however, they live in the moist shady grass and fly really fast when you walk by.
After our hike we drove into Fargo, North Dakota to get some information on the next leg of our trip. We collected lots of information on things to see and do in North Dakota. We then went to a great restaurant, DooLittles, which had wood grilled chicken. It was delicious.
This park also has a pond that they keep clear with chlorine. They pump water in from the Buffalo River and then treat it and fill the pond. This is a very busy place on the weekends as the people in the area come for picnics and swimming.
Friday night we went to the Minnesota State University Science Center to look at the stars. They were supposed to have telescopes for everyone to look at, but the sky was overcast and we couldn’t see any stars. There was a power point presentation about the sun, planets, meteors, and comets. It was very interesting.
