The first day of the drive down to Elgin, Illinois was basically uneventful. The biggest entertainment was the cross wind most of the way. There was a short patch of drizzle/rain between Swift Current and Moose Jaw but other than that the weather cooperated nicely. That’s one day down and two to go for the trip there.
Now the biggest thing I need to figure out is just which route I’m taking from Regina to Fargo. I could take the usual route of going TCH to Winnipeg and then taking the Pembina Highway south to the border where it becomes the interstate highway that goes right into Fargo. I could also go south from Regina and go via Estavan and come into Fargo from the west. That would involve some roads I haven’t seen before but it also entails a bit more risk because I don’t know where the convenient gasoline stops are. I’ll have to study a map and figure it out tonight. Fortunately, I have such a map to study.
Here’s hoping the weather tomorrow is at least as good as the weather today.
