Just the facts, as very little of note happened today. Route 2 is like and Interstate with a town about every 30 miles containing 3-8 stop lights and a primary speed limit of 55 mph. Maddening. But, I did the research. There are three way to get to Inuvik. Two through Canada and one through the States. The States route offers many more services, IS less expensive (gas is $2.54), and our cell phones work. To give Route 2 it's due, the first 100 miles along Lake Michigan are very scenic. The lakes are big and look like the ocean.
After that, it's back to miles of woods and the occasional hill.
Two things of note for today though. We crossed the Mississippi River. I was about 25 yards wide and very clean. It had not yet acquired the great muddy Mississippi character, yet. That comes after the farm and industrial states. And, a dog, looking like a small deer but, in fact a Husky mutt with very long legs dashed across the road oblivious to the traffic, which mimics that of an Interstate, too. It came across two cars ahead of me and the driver was forced onto the shoulder to avoid it, where he continued to drive for several miles as his portly passenger urged him on not wanting to miss Wheel of Fortune, I suppose. I expect he was having a coronary but one must have their priorities.
No pics today, there is nothing here. Well, here's Bruce just so you know what he looks like. A little ocular filler.
