Day Thirteen

I am currently in Bismarck, North Dakota stealing internet at a Holiday Inn. Apparently coffee shops in Bismark close at 6pm. Also making blogging more difficult is that half the state is in the mountain timezone, and the other side of the state is in the central timezone. Not knowing this I arrived at a coffee shop at what I thought was 4:45pm, it was actually 5:45pm, and they were closing at 6:00pm. After five years in Tacoma, I think all coffee shops should be 24/7 and espresso machines come with routers. Also making blogging somehow even more difficult was that the kid working the front desk had never heard of WiFi. I immediately turned into the Hulk and smashed his kiosk.

The weather was fun today. I have included a small video below about how I felt today during my nine hours of driving in sideways rain. I didn't lock the lid on my truck today and the sideways wind actually blew the lid wide open. I didn't even know that was possible. Luckily none of my stuff blew out the back. I also went to Devil's Tower today. I did my best to keep my eyes open but couldn't pull it off, even after three attempts. Thanks for trying guy from Ohio. On my drive to Minot, ND I came across the Totten Trail. I'm not exactly sure what it was but it had a fancy sign.
