10/13/09 A LITTLE VACATION


Tuesday, 8:00 AM. 30 degrees, wind W, calm at ground level, but high clouds in the east are moving fast, where the wind is from the north (they are probably getting lake effect snow in the UP). The rest of the sky is cloudless. The channel is calm, and the barometer predicts fair weather.
Joan and I are taking a little vacation, heading west on Hwy 2 through Minnesota and North Dakota. She wants to see all the little towns along the route that she has read about, and I, being something of a history buff, would like to get as far west as Billings Montana and the Custer battlefield. I don't know if we will find Wounded Knee. We both are interested in whatever Louis and Clark sites we can see on the Missouri River. We will then return on I 90, poking around in the Black Hills if time and weather permit. There have already been storms in the west, so we are pushing it a bit. Lucky is staying with the Ringbergs across the street and will be treated very well. Unless I have internet access and time to do so there will be no posts for the next week or ten days.
