We decided last night that we wanted to travel earlier today and possibly be off the road a little sooner than last night tonight. We definitely traveled farther today, and definitely traveled further tonight then we have yet. A total of 11 hours of driving, with short breaks, filled the gas tank twice.
We started at 8:00 am and checked into the hotel tonight just after 7:00 pm. A very long day, but worth it to make up for Thursday’s lousy weather day.
The roads were icy this morning but the further we traveled West the clearer they got. Had some rain in Minnesota, but other than that, the weather was great. It was -12 when we started out from Ironwood, and +3 when we landed in Winnipeg. Definitely a strange winter.
Started this morning in Michigan, crossed into Wisconsin, then Minnesota, then North Dakota and finally into Manitoba tonight. The sight of a Tim Horton’s; the first we’d seen since leaving London, Ontario bright a slight tear to our eye. Ah yes, steeped tea…nectar of the Gods.
The first day of travel we went 500 kms. Yesterday we traveled 600 kms. Today we traveled 950 kms. That leaves just over 1,400 kms to go.
And now to plot tomorrow’s route, and find something for supper. All in all, an excellent day.
