[QUOTE="wallyo, post: 1335641, member: 89672"] After seeing the wife off to work, I climb aboard my trusty steed, and head out. Heading north on the super slab;I can only hear the wind, and the motor, everything is running great. I'm heading to Billings Montana, a short 769 mile day. I leave Minnesota on 94, and shortly after crossing the state line, I realize just how windy North Dakota is. Around 1:00, I grab lunch at a subway, and head out; I'm amazed at how flat a lot of North Dakota is, and get settled in for a long haul. I pull over at the Theodore Roosevelt national park to check out the scenery, and take a break from the wind, I love this country, and am constantly amazed at how different the topography changes in short distances. The Badlands are a great lesson in this respect showing the different layers of sediment, and how easily the earth can change the landscape, through various seismic shifts. It's hot, 97 degrees, at least it's not humid. I get into Montana and am glad to see the clouds starting to form, I need some rain to cool down some. I pull over for a gas stop, and notice it's getting really dark , quickly, and its starts to rain....luckily just a passing shower, but I'm hungry for dinner, and theres a nice little restaurant right next door...trout almondine please, and as much iced tea as you can pour. Only two hours left to Billings. [/QUOTE]
