Road Work Ahead

I am convinced that the United States is just a huge highway that is always under construction. Since we left Nj, and even in NJ, the number of miles of roads under construction is enormous. Today it was in Minesota.
I was sad to leave Wisconsin, it was a very nice state. Nice and wide roads, friendly people and delicious cheese. That is us, leaving the hotel in the weee hours of the morning:

Today we were back to messy roads and crazy drivers, and funny trucks too. Have you ever seen an inclined truck trailer, well here is one:
.
Not much happened today, just a long and boring drive. So I will close with another shot of dear Shooter in his "Are we there yet?" pose:

North Dakota

About a month ago, somebody suggested to someone else the theory that maybe nobody lived in 'North Dakota'. This resulted in the someone else looking for license plates from North Dakota, during my recent drive from NJ to the Niagara Falls. No luck, or theory not proven incorrect: no license plates from North Dakota, despite seeing plates from just about anywhere else.

Finally, a month later, the theory has been proven wrong. ND (North Dakota) does exist, and there are persons living there. The below 6 pictures as proof of cars with ND license plates.

I have to say that it took us a long time before we saw even one. The first one was observed only 75 miles before entering the state. And even after entering the state, the majority of the license plates were still not from ND (most of them from Minnesota).

We will stay the night in Fargo, ND (in honor of the movie). Tomorrow, we will cross the state, and it already feels like we will be crossing the end of the world. If we don't make contact with the world tomorrow, we will have been sucked up by this vast nothingness of ND. I hope we survive, and I hope Montana will bring even more excitement.

The trip so far

This includes tomorrow, already planned because there aren't many options in MT to stay the night with 2 dogs.
