Quick Update

So, we’re trying to leave Minnesota today, however the dragon needs to go to the mall one more time before we go. Mecca baby, mecca.

I dread the remainder of this journey. Flat, flat, flat land. We’ll be going trough Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and finally Ohio. I expect to pull into Dayton sometime Thursday early afternoon.

So far the best day of travel was Sunday. We woke up in Gillette, which oddly enough is where we went to sleep. The town’s elevation is about 4500 feet. So when we awoke we were covered in snow.


The high plains covered in snow are a great site. We had beautiful views all day.


BTW, the scariest moment of the trip was about 5:30pm Saturday night. We were on our way to Butte, Montana (pronounced “but” not “b-yoot”, ignorant locals) and the darned deer were standing in the middle of the interstate. I can attest that the brakes on Mercedes will stop the car, under control, before you reach the end of the range of the headlights at 85 miles per hour.
