Weather Radio is a good item to have

Had to change our travel plans a bit, the weather radio came on at 3:00 am announcing a high wind warning around the Soiux Falls, ND area where we planned on going today. We drove to Grand Forks, ND instead. We always check the weather in the morning when we are able, (either TV or Internet) but may have missed this report if not for the weather radio. The drive was uneventful, a little grey, with some showers here and there. We did drive through the geographical centre of North America, which we have never done before, and also the North Dakata hills, gently rolling hills, nice for a change after driving in such flat land for so long. We have not taken any pictures at all! I think we are too anxious to hit warmer weather and of course nothing exciting about motel rooms to take pics of anyway. Most of the terrain is very similar to Saskatchewan and of course still snow covered.

Left Grand Forks, ND heading for Alexandria, MN. Took I29 south. Was a good drive today, just a bit windy but mostly it pushed us but sure knew when we getting the side wind hitting us. Was a pretty drive, went from flat open fields in ND and part way into MN (crossed into MN at Fargo, ND). Interesting that there was more snow in south ND and the first while after we hit MN than there was in Grand Forks, ND but then we hit rolling hills with trees and less snow. Arrived here about 2:30, got settled in the motel, grabbed bite to eat, relaxed a bit and then took Oreo for a nice long walk, very chilly here with the wind, while Woody did some needed shopping. We are heading to Albert Lea, MN tomorrow but might get stuck there as they are predicting snow for that area, hopeful that forecast will change, if not oh well. We are not travelling anymore than 4 hours a day as otherwise we just get too tired. Also we can grab breakfast at the hotel (free), eat lunch in the truck and have some relax time, walk Oreo once we get settled in the motel then get some dinner and have down time! Makes for a more relaxing trip than pushing too far. Hard to remember that we don't have to rush, we do not have to follow a tight schedule, we are retired!
