On the Lewis and Clarke Trail

We followed the Missouri River today along route 2 today and ended up in Williston, ND. This town is probably the biggest we have been in since Whitehorse, YT. It was very hot (102) and dry today, not much fun on an air cooled motorcycle. There is not much to seen in this part of the country except small towns, crops, and live stock. The transition from the Rocky Mountains is quite dramatic. We traveled 442 miles today. It would have taken Lewis and Clarke about 2 weeks to travel that far and they didn't have an air conditioned room and restaurant to look forward to. We are going to see get off rt 2 and travel rt 38 and 200 west.
