I looked at the weather on the way to Fargo and as expected there was a bit of moderate rain and cloudiness in the middle of the route. Fortunately it was a modest distance and the weather was perfectly acceptable for IFR, so that's what I did. In the end we got a little turbulence crossing the weather, but it was brief.
We landed in Fargo without difficulty (48 states!). The very friendly FBO people helped us arrange a pet-friendly hotel and gave us a ride.
Downtown Fargo turned out to be a quite charming little town, and we enjoyed all the old signs and storefronts.
We walked around a bit and got some food and had a drink to celebrate our first long leg and our 48th state. I managed to find a cool sticker for our bag. Looking at the weather for the following day, I started to form a plan for the remainder of our weekend. I decided we would spend the night in Winnipeg before proceeding onwards, which would allow us plenty of time to sleep in tomorrow.
