    So we will be off into the wide blue skies. Or maybe rain or shine we'll be going Thursday morning. So if you want to play along guessing will start Thursday morning. Guess a general direction by picking a random city. I will be checking in at the end of the day after Big Red is covered for the night. The hints will be something like wrong direction [someone with be told right direction] and there may a little hint on where we are. Plan is 6 nights on the road. So tell everyone to come join us and have fun.

    Rain and pending storms Big Red stayed home. Drive was with little rain and sunshine on and off. Stopped for lunch at my favorite travel restaurant couple hrs from home. WHAT they're CLOSED . In for the night hitting the road again Friday after coffee.

    Oh no first guess and wrong direction. What fun it would have been to go to the mountains.
    Right turn Clyde (sorry couldn't stop myself)
    Crossed over BNSF, CP, UP not all at once but during the day today not a single train .

    You have the north part right. I hope you didn't get wet crossing the big river. I used the bridge close to home now I'm looking for the __________. So are a lot of other tourists who would have thought that. Took a boat ride to day. Going back tomorrow for the rest of thinks to see.[​IMG]

    Hmmm, so not Wisconsin, maybe Minnesota? And the beginning might be Lake Itasca where that mighty river starts?

    I know where this is. But go west, young man.

    Today, we saw a BNSF tank train on the sidding and later seen UP on the move. Some tracks must have had some high water some time. Seen some large rock on the banks of the road bed. Busy driving no photos yet. Dinner (they know how to smoke) yum
