Nebraska – Departing Thoughts
August 18th, 2015
Nebraska, the greatest curse about the state ended up being one of its best features, that there is nothing around for miles on end. It means driving for hours just to roll into a small town that really has no business existing except that it’s a hub for all the farmers around. But with that […]
Nebraska – I Suck at Planning
August 13th, 2015
Minnesota seemed to fly by, but go so slow as well. Having a partner in crime made the time move…differently. But now, I had to move on to the next state, as my time was up. Problem was, the two things on my list in Nebraska were on the western side of the state, and […]
Minnesota – Departing Thoughts
August 12th, 2015
Minnesota is known as the land of 10,000 lakes and I’m willing to bet they missed a few when counting. With highways bending around the lakes and through the land, I wonder if this is where little red riding hood’s grandma may live? It was also a great change of pace to be submerged in […]
Minnesota – That’s a Paddlin’
August 9th, 2015
Overcast. Cold. Damp grass. It was a pleasure to wake up not in a parking lot. The dogs at the house across the street (dirt road) barked at me as I exited my car, a proper second alarm. Awake before Hoobs again, I decided to do some work and watch a movie while he slept, […]
Minnesota – Ridin Dirty
August 7th, 2015
Traveling solo is awesome. You can find a million and a half blogs online (if you have internet) and see why many profuse that traveling solo is the way to go. I’ve been doing it, and so far its worked out well. But having a companion to not only see and crash on their floor, […]
North Dakota – Departing Thoughts
August 4th, 2015
North Dakota is known as “The Peace Garden” state, and has the slogan “Legendary” on its welcome sign. Though, the Peace Garden is situated half in Canada and half in the state, and is so small, no map even shows it. If it is Legendary, I have yet to hear the legend, or meet anyone […]
North Dakota – What to Do?
July 31st, 2015
Saying hello is awkward. Saying goodbye is hard. Waking up to my final morning in Montana was hard, but a quick pack, and multiple goodbye’s later, and I was on my 9 hour speed run for the border: North Dakota. Sleeping in a rest stop, and watching the sun set one last time in Montana, […]
Montana – Departing Thoughts
July 28th, 2015
Montana, what an amazing state. Though I again only saw a small sliver of it as I zoomed through on my way to meet with friends, I was struck with how empty the Eastern half of the state was. All the beauty and amazing-ness of the state seemed to be confined to the Western half. […]
