Long, long day. We came from Chicago to (the ever lovely) Madison for lunch*, then on to (a surprisingly pleasant) Sioux Falls, SD and beyond. Southern Minnesota smells like a circus without the redemptive power of elephant charisma. Cell phone signal all up in these latitudes is for a crap and MV has relentlessly tried to brainwash me into a Republican/Ralph Nader/Jesse Jackson/anti-wind power conspiracy theorist. Will he succeed by the end of the trip???? Only if I don’t forcibly leave him by the side of the highway first.

States seen: IL, WI, MN, SD.
Total/daily miles driven: 1690.2/655.6.
MPG: Too tired to do math. Thirty something. Mike drives like a maniac on fire.

The hope for tomorrow is Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Devil’s Tower, and on to Yellowstone. Stay tuned, it should get better from here on out.

*not at Angelic Brewing Co. It appears they’ve gone out of business.
