North Dakota's dark blue field displays a bald eagle holding an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its claws. In its beak, the eagle carries a ribbon with the words "One nation made up of many states". The shield on its breast has thirteen stars, representing the original thirteen states. The fan shaped design above the eagle represents the birth of a new nation, the United States. The name "North Dakota" appears on a red scroll below the eagle.

Trip Report

 

The Fargo area got much needed rain early in the morning before the race began.  By the time the race started, the rain was pretty much done but we were left with warm and humid conditions.
