Tracks in Fargo, ND.

Tyler and I stopped by Paradox Comics-n-Cards and got the last two packs they had — Pokémon Surging Sparks. Lots of bulk.

Delightful Nitro Oat Latte at Youngblood Coffee Roasters in Fargo, ND. This place has their coffee situation dialed in right. 👏☕️

Time Machine at Puzzled Escape Rooms

We arrived in Fargo today and made our way to Puzzled Escape Rooms and did their Time Machine room. The room had a lot of locks and codes to figure out. We started with uncovering a lot of different items in the room and then had to figure out where to get started. The beginning was probably the hardest point. As is often the case there were a couple of things that made me “face palm” that we missed it. Others we connected the dots but didn’t know what to do with it until the puzzle showed up and we were able to clear it very fast. Overall a fun room but an older style room that is heavy code and lock based. Room 81!

We had a nice walk this morning around the Prairie Wetlands Learning Center just outside of Fergus Falls.
