Bucket List….check
12 Julai 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
I’ve been to the southern end of the Mississippi-New Orleans.

I’ve been across it in various locations traveling east and west.

Now, I’ve been to where it starts flowing south. The Headwaters. Pretty cool.Baca lagi

Hills are starting to appear
12 Julai 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
Up until now, the landscape has been so flat the roads fall off in the horizon as the curvature of the earth dictates.

Now (finally) hills and elevations are starting to come in. Sooner or later, the Rockies will introduce themselves.Baca lagi

Continental Divide
12 Julai 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F
Saw this on the way west today. Wasn’t positive what it meant.

I am advised that it means:

“A continental divide is a line that separates river systems that flow to opposite sides of the continent. “

Interesting.Baca lagi

Fascinated by the L&C effort. Had to stop to see where they stopped in ND on the Missouri River.

No “evidence” but a nice park.

Hari 5
Arrived Williston, ND
12 Julai 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Just an overnight stop after my normal 600+/- mile leg. Bozeman, Montana tomorrow. Then, I’ll do what I can to help the wedding process.

Nice stop. This area is HUGE for oil people (not all fracking). I saw incredible sites for hundreds of miles drilling and fracking.

Sat next to an oil rig guy at dinner. He came up from LA a year ago. Loves it here. Interesting conversations, although he had no clue of the big picture of oil in the US… young guy, busy, with nothing to lose. But he told me the location of oil in this area-20,000’. Amazing.

Since leaving MN, I started seeing rig’s right after crossing into ND. From the Continental Divide to here, massive amounts.

According to this guy, it’s still the largest oil hit in the world (he said they drill wherever they need to and it’s always there)

I saw hundreds of the mobile vehicle pictured. Not sure what it is. But there were fields and fields full of oil equipment… the farmers and cows seemed to cohabitate cooperatively.

Sunset today is 9:53 PM MT. That’s 11:53 for me 🤪 Its 9:53 and the sky is still bright. The moon is setting faster than the sun.Baca lagi

Raindrops?
13 Julai 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F
I saw this little guy fly in front of me and then try to change course but never saw him in my mirror. I was doing 82 MPH. Found him this AM in the grill. Sad.

Since arriving in the UP, one annoying constant has been the sound of “raindrops”.

Because it’s not rain, you really can’t use your wipers. Using them spreads a “goo” all over as though it was oatmeal.

It’s necessary to stop every 100 miles at least to scrape (not wash) the windshield.Baca lagi

Snow-Capped Mountains. In July…
13 Julai 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
Just west of Billings, the big boys start becoming visible.

On I-90 with 80 mph speed limit. People do 90 mph at least. Two days later, just east of this area, a 20 car pileup with 6 dead on I-90. I can see how easily it could happen if you add high winds and rain.Baca lagi

The time changes really help going west. Took three car washes to get “most” of bugs/bird off grill and front end.

Nice dinner with Eric,Cat & Dana. Surprised to see Anna/Husband and Erica/Boyfriend at same restaurant.

Ended night at Dana & Mary’s with bonfire and Bourbon.Baca lagi
