July 3 - Fargo to Pelican Rapids - 62 miles

Dalmatian Pelican 

World's Largest Pelican

Tent City in Pelican Rapids

Pelican Rapids claims the "worlds largest pelican" and a lot of the storefronts have custom pelicans like the fire department has a dalmation pelican and the drug store has one holding a prescription bottle.  When we got to town we found a thrift store and bought 4th of July decorations for our helmets.  Russ again was the man of the day by helping others decorate their helmets.  A few of us went swimming and I even joined a water aerobic class at 5:00.  The campground was tight and some family pulled in and set up a "tent village" .  It took them most of the night so needless to say, we got little sleep.
