Day 2 and Not In Canada yet

What a day we have had. Got up and on the road in good time this a.m. and then things slowed way down. It was snowing when we left Helena and the road was covered with compacted snow. Highway 12 can best be described as a narrow two lane country road that twists and turns so you can never go the posted speed limit. Doug and I decided it was best not to push things and would spend the night in Williston, N.D., but not one room was to be had! The oil business is booming, and the workers have reserved all the rooms. We had to drive on into Minot and arrived at 9:55 p.m. just in time to watch the restaurants turn off their lights and lock the doors. 650 miles in 11 hours, time for bed. Tomorrow can only be better.
