The day began at 6:21 a.m.
near Madison Wisconsin. On the
road for 7 a.m. with high hopes to touch 4 states today. The day started with a very low cloud cover
and remained overcast most of the day until we reached North Dakota around 3
and then the sun came out. We laughed at
the Hwy names in Wisconsin. They use the
alphabet. So they have HWY 'X', HWY 'PP'
etc. Seems dumb, but then numbers don’t
sound much better if you think about it.
Driving on I-94 in
Minnesota. Deer stands everywhere.
We said good bye to Wisconsin and missed picking up some
cheese. Darn! We were either too early or too late for the
cheese factories. Oh well. It was a beautiful drive across Minnesota
next.
Along Hwy 94 in
Minnesota
We crossed the Mississippi and Red Rivers which is kind of
cool and saw some neat Limestone formations.
Later we also crossed the Missouri River in North Dakota where we gave
pause to the many travellers who crossed in covered wagons oh so many years ago
and here we are just blasting across the states.
Looks like we may make Castle Mountain late Sunday night at
the rate we are going. Look out Zach we
are about to crash on you..... We are very much looking forward to the
“Wright’s” caffeine machine. Coffee
enroute has been weak at best. We continued to push as far west as reasonable
in order to get out of the new weather advisory for parts of North Dakota and
Minnesota. As I write this it looks like
bad weather will be behind us. Montana
is the last state of the day; we will be tucked away by the time I post this
blog. Looking forward to seeing the
changed countryside tomorrow. The
prairies are definitely boring. We are
now in Mountain Time. The extra hour of
daylight we gained each driving day was great.
Total driving time today 13.5 hours.
