We’ve been on the road for a week now averaging 400 miles a day. The first 4 days were interstates and traffic, Chicago was a nightmare. We drove out of the Minnesota woods and entered the High Plains sticking to State roads across North Dakota and Montana. We’re driving parallel to the Canadian border about 50 miles south of it. We are spending the night within sight of the Rocky Mountains and will drive to into them tomorrow. It was 91 today but didn’t feel oppressive like our humid Vermont weather. The humidity is near zero and the wind always blows on the Great Plain making it pleasant. We’ve been climbing in elevation for 2 days and are approaching 4000 ft. Lots of cool wildlife out here.
