We're on the road. We left around noon on Monday after loading the truck. Thanks to Annie and Grant it was a very speedy process. We all went out for one last meal at Perez and then (after another tearful goodbye) loaded into the cars.
The drive is going well so far. We stopped in Minnesota last night and are currently just outside of Rapid City, South Dakota for the night. Futty Cat is doing remarkably well, thanks to her awesome "Booda Dome" cat litter box. She really enjoys hanging out in there while we're driving. So far it's working well. She seems to enjoy exploring the new hotel rooms. She's currently lounging by the window, checking out the hills of South Dakota.
I've developed a game to keep us entertained throughout the drive. I'm not sure Futty enjoys playing with me, but I'm entertained by it. And I think Dan is putting up with it, haha. I call it "Superlatives" so, today's "Superlatives" are:
Most Exotic License Plate: Saskatchewan
Most Disgusting Roadkill: The half of a coyote I saw...not sure where the other half went
Most Interesting Car/Driver: The truck I saw towing a trailer filled with life-size plastic horses
Stupidest Billboard Ad: "You Should Corn-Sider Stopping by the Mitchell Corn Palace" (which we did NOT do, FYI...once in a lifetime is plenty for me...that place reeks!).
Strangest Town Name: Luverne (it's not really that strange, I just laughed for some reason)
Most Offensive Sight: Wooden cutouts of Native Americans "attacking settlers" in 1880 Town...seriously, I gasped out loud.
I'm sure the list will grow as the game evolves, but that was today's round.
