We left West Fargo this morning on a rainy Sunday. Off and on all day we traveled through the rain. As a matter of fact at Mile Marker # 250 on I-90, the underpass was flooded and we had to get off the interstate at the exit and go over the highway and then back on again. There was an 18-wheeler being towed out of the flooded area. Evidently, he was the first one through the flooded area in the dark and almost made it through before the water got too high.
Went through the farmlands of North Dakota and the Badlands into Montana. At the welcome center as we entered Montana, they had an interesting landmark sign which said that traveling through Montana was the equivalent of driving from New York to Chicago! It's kind of discouraging when you see mile markers which are in excess of 500.
Criss-crossed the Yellowstone River many times as we traversed Montana - it's running pretty full, so with the rain, it may get even higher. Cut south at Butte on I-15 and we are close to the Idaho border. Tomorrow we should arrive home!
