<\/a><\/p>\nI found the Depot.<\/p>\n
I found the door.<\/p>\n It was closed, but I rather liked the Soo Line logo on the plate around the handle.<\/p>\n There were a few cars that looked like were being preserved and\/or restored. But they had a fence around them, so I didn’t go check them out.<\/p>\n I headed back to my truck, and this historical record caught my eye – a record of what used to be.<\/p>\n Across the street, I spied the Taube Museum of Art – and the door was open. I went over to check it out.<\/p>\n Upstairs was an art activity geared toward children. They looked like they were having fun. A sign said that there was an\u00a0art display downstairs, so I decided to check it out.<\/p>\n There were some paintings – incredibly detailed and closely observed paintings – done in acrylic on birch. The artist is Lindsay Arnold. (Really, check out her website<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Can you believe these are paintings?<\/p>\n I love the name of this exhibit: Tedium<\/em>. My father always said that I loved tedious things. I guess he was right.<\/p>\n There was also a mosaic. I have already written about my love of mosaics. The blue grout really caught my attention.<\/p>\n Across the street from the museum was the First National Bank.<\/p>\n They sure made elegant buildings back in the day.<\/p>\n I had to stock up on food before I left town. I stopped at this store, which was a new one to me.<\/p>\n I was intrigued by\u00a0the fact that it was “employee owned.”<\/p>\n This caught my eye. It is “sweet and sour sauce”. Sweet and sour sauce WITH white chicken and rice. It was inexpensive, but I left it in the freezer.<\/p>\n I left these on the shelf, too. They just didn’t call out to me.<\/p>\n I did pick these up, though. How could I pass up lefse? Lefse with butter, sugar and cinnamon and a steaming mug of coffee – heaven!<\/p>\n Thus provisioned, I gassed up and headed back to the campground to get ready for the next day’s travel.<\/p>\n There was only one more thing to do. North Dakota was on the map! Only two more states to go.<\/p>\n Next up: South Dakota.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, I headed to downtown Minot.
