Day One
Minneapolis, MN > Murdo, SD

This isn't our plane, but it's representative of the flight from JFK to Minneapolis:

Here's my dad on the plane.. looking serious as usual in photos. We got exit row seats that had more legroom but didn't recline.
Breadsticks and salad.

 

Driving through the farms. powerlines stretched out to the horizon. Fantastic colors. Taken from a moving car at 80MPH

 

 

Just a reminder for all of you godless infidels out there.. my Jewish friends please take note :-)
I wonder if that tower was broadcasting Howard Stern?

 

OK.. the windmills were pretty darn cool, and enormous.. we were at least a mile away from this one.

 

 

This is what we saw for 6 hours.. other than the windmills and Jesus, you didn't miss much.
Taken through the windshield, notice the white spat of bugs mucking up my view..

 

Here's my dad scraping off the bugs for the second of 3 times today.

 

Here we are standing in front of the Missouri River. there were signs to be on the lookout for poisonous snakes in the grass behind us.
So I hope you all enjoy this picture, we risked our lives to give it to you.

 

After 7 hours of driving and a steak dinner at a roadside bar, this sign says it all.
