We are now in our 4th state and 3rd time zone. Contrary to the below picture, roads have improved in North Dakota. They are actually using asphalt, BFA (butt friendly asphalt), instead of chip and seal. The rolling hills are truly reminiscent of the Tuscan region of Italy, but the oilfield and construction semis and lack of friendly Italian villas, quickly brings me back to the US. The fields are green and lush and ND 1904 rolls over hill after hill.
Yesterday, we visited the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers and they are quite impressive, and higher than normal, due to all the rain. We did experience an afternoon thunderstorm firsthand and I went out and brought a few people in to the motel in the van.
Today, we are staying in the 4 Bears Casino and Lodge, outside of New Town, ND. We will be in Minot tomorrow night.
The guests on this trip are very well educated, athletic, have a good sense of humor and are very generous and are fun to be around. What a positive experience this has been and continues to be.
