We made it to Minneapolis. Just over 1000 miles and 16 hours!
So, it was a very, very long day. Just an hour outside of Billings we came to a complete standstill on the freeway in a blizzard. We were going over a small pass, and all the trucks who had not chained up before attempting the hill - couldn't quite make it... It was a slow start to the day. We had snow off and on until midway through South Dakota. After that, the driving was clear. Coming north in Minnesota the wind from the west was strong and kept Ellie holding the wheel with both hands.
Ellie drove the lion's share again today - but Joanna upped the ante and drove 3 hours. At that it was hard to keep Ellie happy in the passenger seat when she wasn't asleep. She likes to drive. Joanna likes to be the passenger.
Will post pics in the morning. Tomorrow we have a shorter day - visiting brother John in Madison.
