I arrived as scheduled at 3:24 a.m. on Sunday, 12/8, in Fargo, ND. With foggy breath, the Amtrak conductor greeted everyone with a jolly, "Welcome to Miami!" I stepped off and walked a few blocks north to my hotel. I thought I understood then what was the true meaning of cold. 
I had about 17 hours to wait. There is only one passenger train per day in either direction from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest and back. There is only one bus per evening from Fargo to Bismarck the state capital — it departs from Fargo around 10:30 p.m.
While I was waiting for the bus, I grabbed dinner with @karisthompson, who seems to know everybody I needed to know in #FargoMoorhead. Look out for more follow-up stories on all the good work happening in FM. Thanks again, Karis!
