The Other Twin Cities

The cities of Fargo, North Dakota and Moorhead, Minnesota are neighbors, separated by the Red River of the North. In the photo I’m standing on a bridge in a lovely park that connects the two towns.

The interesting thing is that this Red River flows north into Canada, meaning that it’s in a separate drainage system from that of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. We even saw a “Continental Divide” sign on the highway pointing this out.

I very much agree with the sentiment expressed by the graffiti on this bridge.
