Bye, Bye Montana (Aug 23)

A wild ride today. Up and off at 6, a bad breakfast a couple of hours later in some town I can't recall. Got back on Rt 2 east and for the first time had some serious tail winds. Cleared Montana at about 2 in the afternoon and made it to Williston, ND at around 4 (then a time change to 5). I heard Williston was a boom town, but I could not believe what I saw. It was like a bee hive with gigantic trucks and vehicles of all sorts as the bees. After a stop at McDonalds, had a hell of a time getting out of there with 30mph cross winds, a little shoulder and all of those trucks. But I made it. Off the road again just before dark a mile or so short of Ray, ND. Minot is 80 to 90 miles away and I hope to be there tomorrow. I may look for a hotel, my knees need a break.
